Australia’s International Trade Price Indexes for March 2026 showed modest increases. The Export Price Index rose 0.5 % in the quarter and fell 1.9 % over the year. The rise was led by higher prices for gold (non‑monetary), coal, coke and briquettes, and crude fertilisers, while declines in metalliferous ores, metal scrap, and natural and manufactured gas offset gains. The Import Price Index increased 0.1 % for the quarter and declined 0.3 % annually. Key upward drivers were petroleum and related products, gold, and non‑ferrous metals. Downward influences included office and A.D.P. machines and road vehicles. These figures were released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on 30 April 2026.
