U.S. egg prices have surged to a record-high of $6.23 per dozen, defying predictions by President Trump despite decreased wholesale prices and no new bird flu outbreaks among egg farms. The rise in prices is attributed to persistent demand leading up to Easter and the ongoing effects of previous bird flu epidemics that have significantly reduced egg-laying hens in the country. Experts suggest that while wholesale prices began to decline in March, consumer relief might not be immediate, raising concerns over the pricing strategies of major producers.
