Silver Rises Over 120% YTD 
Egg prices hit a record high of $5.90 per dozen in February 2025, up from $2.50 a year earlier, with a 10% increase in February alone following January’s 15% rise. While bird flu is the primary driver—killing nearly 40 million commercial egg-laying hens in 2024—other factors like production costs, supply-demand dynamics, and potential market manipulation are also contributing. The Justice Department is investigating whether large producers have artificially inflated prices, though the American Egg Board maintains the price spike is solely due to bird flu disruptions.
