芝加哥商品交易所：肉制品价格下降没有在零售业体现

　　US - Beef and pork prices at the wholesale level has declined sharply since their peaks in 2014 but that has yet to show up in any significant way at the retail level, write Steve Meyer and Len Steiner.The latest retail meat price data collected by the Bureau of Labour Statistics and reported by USDA shows that October retail prices for beef, pork and chicken were higher than the previous month and only marginally lower than last year’s levels. Indeed, while prices for a number of beef, pork and chicken products are now at some of the lowest levels in the last four years, retail prices remain dramatically higher than what they were in 2011 or 2012.

　　史蒂夫·迈耶(Steve Meyer)和莱恩·施泰纳(Len Steiner)写到，美国牛肉和猪肉批发价格自2014年的最高价格以来已经大幅下降，然而在肉制品零售业并没有显著地体现。据美国劳工统计局(Bureau of Labour Statistics)收集的最新肉制品价格数据和美国农业部(USDA)的报告显示，十月的猪肉，牛肉和鸡肉的零售价格比上个月零售价格更高，而且仅略低于去年的水平。实际上，现在的猪肉，牛肉和鸡肉制品的最低零售价格都比过去四年里要高，相比2011年和2012年的零售价格要高很多。
