Introducing the Truflation Eggs Index
Egg prices spiked, made headlines — and now they’re falling… or are they?
While wholesale prices have dropped sharply in recent weeks, retail prices at the grocery store haven’t fully caught up. That disconnect has real consequences for consumers, and it’s exactly why Truflation users requested a dedicated way to track this essential item in real time.
Today, we’re launching the Truflation Eggs Index — a real-time, transparent benchmark that captures the full story behind egg prices in the U.S. It’s designed not just to reflect what’s happening now, but to keep you ahead of future price movements — whether that’s another surge, a sudden drop, or long-term stabilization.
Why Eggs?
Eggs are more than just a breakfast staple. They’re a leading indicator of food inflation and supply chain stress. Price swings in eggs often signal broader issues in agriculture, energy, and transportation. When the cost of eggs shifts, it often tells us something bigger is happening in the economy.
That’s why eggs matter — and why tracking them in real time is so valuable.
What Makes the Truflation Eggs Index Unique?
Traditional economic metrics can lag behind reality by weeks or even months. The Truflation Eggs Index, on the other hand, offers daily updates from a diverse, weighted mix of data sources, including:
