On March 18, Jinshi Data reported that the price of imported goods in the United States unexpectedly pumped again, indicating that inflation pressure continues to exist. Data released on Tuesday showed that import prices pumped by 0.4% in February, while economists expected prices to remain roughly flat this month. The 0.4% price increase matches the 0.3% increase last month, indicating that the price pump has not stopped. The rise in import prices is driven by the pump in fuel import prices, with natural gas prices soaring again making a significant contribution.
