Export Price Index (YoY)

The Export Price Index, released by the US Department of Labor, shows the changes in the price of US export goods and services. The US trade represents 20% of total world trade, so the indicator is correlated with the value of the USD. A rise in prices is a threat in the mid-term, as higher prices could lead to lower demand. The YoY reading compares the prices of goods in the reference month to the same month a year earlier.
