(Washington, DC) -- February's import and export prices are a mixed bag.

Import prices rose one-point-four percent over January and ten-point-nine percent over February of last year. Both figures out Wednesday from the Bureau of Labor Statistics are lower than analysts had forecast.

Export prices were up three-percent over January and 16-point-six percent over February, 2021. Those numbers both are higher than expected.
