Egg prices have decreased for the third consecutive week, but some stores still sell a dozen large white eggs for up to $9.99, while the USDA's wholesale price is $3.27. The delay in lower prices for consumers is due to stores selling existing stock purchased at higher prices, and market instability is causing retailers to adjust prices slowly. Adrian Larson, partner and regional director of EP Wealth Advisors, explained, "The main thing is tracking the time it takes for prices to flow through the system from the producer, the importer, the supplier, on down to the consumer," according to 12News.

Former President Donald Trump commented on Truth Social that egg prices "are WAY DOWN from the Biden inspired prices if just a few weeks ago." Meanwhile, the USDA's Egg Markets Overview shows a slower decrease in wholesale egg prices to $3.27 per dozen, with consumer prices beginning to reflect this change, as reported by Forbes. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins also expressed cautious optimism on NewsNation, noting that the downward trend might continue, even with Easter approaching, which she called "the Egg Super Bowl."

Egg prices may not decrease immediately despite lower wholesale prices, as grocery stores sell off existing stock before introducing cheaper eggs. The Justice Department is investigating potential price manipulation by egg producers. The Department of Agriculture has allocated $1 billion to support poultry producers and develop vaccines for laying chickens to stabilize the market, as per Forbes. However, the department's updated food price outlook still forecasts higher egg prices for the year.
