Recent BLS data show U.S. city-average retail prices for Grade A large eggs at $2.189 per dozen in July 2026 and $2.272 in August, reflecting a sharp year-over-year decline driven by expanded layer flocks after 2025 HPAI losses. Wholesale benchmarks near 35–46 cents per dozen in September underscore persistent oversupply, though modest month-to-month retail gains and potential feed-cost pressures introduce variability. With September’s official release still pending, trader-implied odds cluster tightly around the $2.10–$2.30 bands as markets weigh the balance between stabilized production volumes and seasonal demand. The next BLS update on October 14 will resolve the contract.
