# Egg prices show some sign of easing - High Plains Journal

> The USDA Egg Markets Overview showed wholesale egg prices mostly steady to firm in May, with national truck-lot prices up $0.07 to $3.36 per dozen. Demand weakened after restocking, while a new highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak firmed wholesale prices and kept retailers from featuring eggs.

## Why it matters

Tight spot egg supply from bird flu keeps wholesale prices elevated, but weak demand limits upside. Layer flock losses reduce feed demand only modestly in the near term.
