# Bird Flu's impact on the US egg market

> Expana Markets reports that the U.S. shell egg market is under sustained pressure from bird flu, with egg prices rising for a fifth straight week in early January 2025. Retail prices have stayed around $4.00 to $4.50 per dozen while demand remains strong. Winter storms caused stockpiling and transport delays that added to supply strain.

## Why it matters
