Egg prices have plummeted since Trump took office — after hitting all-time high in March
The price of eggs has dropped just over 61% since President Donald Trump took office in January, after spiking to an all-time high in March. The most recent data from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows white, large shell eggs are now $2.52 per dozen nationally. On Jan. 21, that same carton of eggs would have run an American about $6.49, according to data website Trading Economics. Trading Economics shows eggs were over $8 a dozen the first week of March. 'Shell egg demand posted a slight improvement headed into the Memorial Day weekend but remained well below average in the continuation of a trend that began during the sharp price increases in late winter,' the USDA Egg Markets Overview weekly publication said. Back in April, a study by Clarify Capital said over 30% of Americans had stopped buying eggs due to their exorbitant cost. Weaker demand and a lull in new cases of bird flu helped cool prices, analysts said at the time. 3 The price of eggs has dropped just over 61% since President Donald Trump took office after a spike in March.

AP That same month, Reuters reported that the US had increased imports of eggs from Turkey, Brazil and South Korea in an attempt to increase supplies amid an ongoing bird flu outbreak that has killed nearly 170 million chickens, turkeys and other birds since 2022. Since the outbreak began in 2022, bird flu has affected over 166 million birds, including 127 million egg layers. This equates to an average loss of 42.3 million egg layers per year, or about 11% of the five-year average annual layer inventory of 383 million hens since the outbreak began, according to Bernt Nelson, an economist with the American Farm Bureau Foundation. 3 According to analysts, a weaker demand and a lull in new cases of bird flu helped cool prices.

'To date, USDA APHIS has confirmed 43 outbreaks in layer flocks in 10 states (AZ, CA, IA, IN, MO, NC, OH, PA, SD, and WA),' the Egg Markets Overview said.

(AP Photo/David Dermer) CLEVELAND (AP) — Donovan Mitchell is expected to be ready for the Cleveland Cavaliers' playoff run despite missing the last four games of the regular season with a sprained left ankle. The all-star guard was injured on April 6 during the second half against the Sacramento Kings. He worked out on the court before Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers after getting a full workout in at the team's training facility on Saturday. Advertisement 'I think he'll be full on with practice. We're going to have to scrimmage at some point, probably inter-squad with refs, so he'll participate in that,' coach Kenny Atkinson said. 'The most important thing is how we build him up with the ankle rehab and then conditioning.' Mitchell was one of nine players, including four starters, that Cleveland sat out for Sunday's regular-season finale. The Cavaliers (63-18) will go into the playoffs as the top seed in the Eastern Conference for only the fourth time in franchise history and first since winning the NBA title in 2016. As the No. 1 seed, Cleveland's first playoff game is not expected to be until April 20 since the eighth seed in the East won't be determined until the final play-in tournament games on Friday. Mitchell leads the Cavaliers in scoring, averaging 24 points per game. He is the only player in the league averaging at least 24 points in 32 minutes or fewer. ___ AP NBA:
