The latest consumer price index reports retail egg prices in March were high, but wholesale prices have been coming down.

U.S. egg prices increased again last month to reach a new record-high of $6.23 per dozen despite President Donald Trump’s predictions, a drop in wholesale prices and no egg farms having bird flu outbreaks.

The average price of a dozen eggs in March hit a record high, eclipsing records set in January and February and despite President Donald Trump's claim this week that prices were down nearly 80%.
