2026.06.1612:30:00UTC+00US Import Price Inflation Holds Steady at 1.9% in May, Matching April Reading

The U.S. Import Price Index remained unchanged in May 2026, holding at a 1.9% month-over-month increase, the same pace recorded in April 2026. According to data updated on 16 June 2026, the indicator shows no acceleration or deceleration in import price pressures as May’s change is identical to the prior month’s.

On a month-over-month basis, the “actual” figure for May 2026 reflects the change compared with April 2026, while April’s “previous” reading measures the shift from March to April. The steady 1.9% rate suggests that, at least for now, imported inflationary pressures into the United States have neither intensified nor eased between April and May. Investors and policymakers will be watching upcoming releases to assess whether this plateau in import price growth persists or gives way to a new trend in the months ahead.
