When Will Egg Prices Come Down? We Asked Two Economists

Eggs are still expensive because of a national shortage. Two experts told us when they think prices could return to normal.

There are too many unknown factors for experts to accurately predict when egg prices will drop. Severe winter weather has been one cause of the recent price spike, but it seems to be bird flu that's causing the overall price increase. The most recent USDA Egg Market Overview report, published Feb. 14, shows that the average price for a dozen eggs in California rose to a whopping $8.68. California has been one of the states hit hardest by bird flu.

"Unless you can forecast the course of the bird flu in chickens -- and I can't -- I don't see how you can forecast the price of eggs." says Robert Fry, chief economist of Robert Fry Economics.

However, other experts think there might be some relief coming.

"If the bird flu outbreak does not become significantly worse, I expect that egg prices will take a downward path," says David A. Anderson, a professor of economics and business at Centre College in Danville, Kentucky. "Over time, destroyed hen populations will be replaced, new egg sources will appear in response to the high prices, and consumers with low-to-moderate preferences for egg products will adapt to substitutes, especially in the places with the highest egg prices. These increases in supply and decreases in demand will usher the prices lower."

Crude Prices Tumble on Weak US Economic News and Technical Selling

Crude oil and gasoline prices tumbled Friday, with gasoline posting a 3-week low. Friday's stronger dollar weighed on energy prices. Also, Friday's US economic news was mostly weaker than expected and bearish regarding energy demand. Oil prices continue to be undercut by the thaw in US-Russian relations and possible peace talks on the Russia-Ukraine war, which could eventually lead to reduced sanctions on Russia and the full resumption of Russian oil exports. Losses in crude accelerated Friday after prices fell below the 100-day moving average, triggering technical selling.

During the Great Depression’s darkest days, President Hoover passed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act intended to boost America’s economy. But the result was higher prices on more than 20,000 imported goods, which significantly worsened the country’s economic woes.

Now 95 years later, new tariffs coupled with policy repeals proposed by the Trump administration could similarly slam one of America’s biggest economic sectors – the auto industry. Major automakers like Ford, GM, and Stellantis will face a crossroads if new tariffs are placed upon our key trade partners, especially if those tariffs are paired with repealing policies that support this core American industry.

China invested heavily in an automotive sector to meet 21st century demands, and is rapidly overtaking the U.S. as the world’s largest auto producer and exporter, pushing American automakers out of major markets where they’ve been leading for years. While China supported its auto industry growth – including plug-in hybrid and battery electric vehicles – U.S. automakers spent years deferring needed investment in emerging technologies. Coupled with federal policy that has until only recently failed to stimulate the sufficient research and development, America’s auto industry is in a precarious position.

Surging egg prices are pummeling America’s bakeries

Fluctuating egg prices aren’t anything new for Scott Auslander, general manager of Bread Furst, a bakery in Washington, DC. But this time is different, he told CNN.

“Our suppliers are telling us that they don’t know when egg prices are going to come down — or if they’re going to come down,” Auslander said. “Eggs are outrageous.”

Bread Furst uses about 150 eggs a day and is now paying more than double what the bakery used to pay a year ago, Auslander said. Last week, the bakery raised prices for all of its egg-heavy pastries and dishes, which is about a third of the menu. That includes its signature “messy egg sandwich,” which now costs a dollar more.

Impact of Surging Egg Prices on U.S. Bakeries

The egg market data from IndexBox reveals a staggering 186% rise in wholesale fresh egg prices in January compared to the prior year, marking one of the most substantial annual increases since 1992. While government figures indicate that bakery product prices have yet to rise significantly, many businesses may soon face no choice but to raise prices should they not receive relief from escalating egg costs.

Manhattan Sweets Boutique Bakery in Long Island, New York, owned by Werner Simon, is preparing to raise prices and explore egg substitutes to manage costs, with caution to maintain product quality. Meanwhile, plant-based egg alternatives produced by companies like Eat Just Inc. are witnessing increased demand, with sales to major retailers multiplying by fivefold compared to the previous year.

Hard Numbers: US vs. Canada, Canadians see US as “enemy,” Steel tariffs could hit food prices/b]

https://www.gzeromedia.com/gzero-north/ ... rs-go-wild

Trump’s plan to impose 25% tariffs on imported steel and aluminum on March 12 could impact prices at the grocery store by raising prices of manufacturing cans in the US. This could make everything from canned food to beer more expensive. The US annually produces 135 billion metal cans – 115 billion aluminum beverage cans and 20 billion steel cans. With 70% of steel can materials imported, manufacturers will likely face higher costs that would eventually be passed on to consumers.

Higher egg prices drove up inflation, and Walmart grocery revenue

Bird flu has decimated US egg supply, lifting prices
Walmart CFO calls spiking egg prices an anomaly
Walmart has said higher tariffs could lead to price hikes

NEW YORK, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Higher egg prices, an issue U.S. President Donald Trump spoke about often during his election campaign last fall, boosted Walmart (WMT.N), opens new tab grocery revenue, the world's largest retailer said during its earnings briefing on Thursday.
Walmart said its grocery revenue rose by mid-single digits in the quarter through January 31, and a Walmart earnings presentation showed that egg-price inflation was baked into that increase.

В самые мрачные дни Великой депрессии президент Гувер принял Закон о тарифах Смута-Хоули, призванный стимулировать экономику Америки. Но результатом стали высокие цены на более чем 20 000 импортируемых товаров, что значительно усугубило экономические проблемы страны.

Теперь, 95 лет спустя, новые тарифы в сочетании с отменой политики, предложенной администрацией Трампа, могут аналогичным образом нанести удар по одному из крупнейших секторов экономики Америки – автомобильной промышленности. Крупные автопроизводители, такие как Ford, GM и Stellantis, окажутся на распутье, если новые тарифы будут установлены для наших ключевых торговых партнеров, особенно если эти тарифы будут сопровождаться отменой политики, поддерживающей эту ключевую американскую отрасль.

Китай вложил значительные средства в автомобильный сектор, чтобы удовлетворить потребности XXI века, и быстро обгоняет США как крупнейшего в мире производителя и экспортера автомобилей, вытесняя американских автопроизводителей с основных рынков, на которых они лидировали в течение многих лет. В то время как Китай поддерживал рост своей автомобильной промышленности, в том числе гибридных и аккумуляторных электромобилей, американские автопроизводители потратили годы, откладывая необходимые инвестиции в новые технологии. В сочетании с федеральной политикой, которая до недавнего времени не могла стимулировать достаточные исследования и разработки, американская автомобильная промышленность находится в шатком положении.

The grass isn’t always greener on the other side, but grocery bills may be more bearable across state lines, according to a new study.

The price of groceries was a key issue in the recent presidential election, with Donald Trump campaigning on the promise to lower costs.

The cost of groceries and price fluctuations can be attributed to many factors, including inflation, supply chain issues that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic, disease outbreak or crop failures, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office. Factors can extend globally, like the Russia-Ukraine war, but impacts can vary between states.

In an APVoteCast survey of more than 120,000 voters, 7 in 10 people indicated that they were very concerned about the cost of gas and groceries.

«США не слишком заботятся о судьбе Европы». Мерц предвещает кардинальные перемены в трансатлантических отношениях

Будущий канцлер Германии Фридрих Мерц не стал дожидаться окончательных результатов выборов, состоявшихся в воскресенье, чтобы возвестить о наступлении новой эры в Европе.

Заявив о безразличии США к судьбе континента, Мерц поставил под сомнение будущее НАТО и потребовал от Европы как можно быстрее усилить собственную оборону.

Такой тон от близкого союзника США казался немыслимым еще пару месяцев назад.

Это тектонический сдвиг, и происходящее сейчас в отношениях США и Европы является беспрецедентным за 80 лет, прошедших с окончания Второй мировой войны.

Крупные европейские державы до глубины души потрясены действиями администрации Дональда Трампа, которая предполагает, что может отменить гарантии безопасности Европы, действующие с 1945 года.

«Я никогда бы не подумал, что мне придется сказать нечто подобное в телеэфире, но после высказываний Дональда Трампа на прошлой неделе… становится ясно, что эта администрация не слишком заботится о судьбе Европы», — заявил Фридрих Мерц после выборов в воскресенье.
