Well it seems Nikon price rise effective from 1st of March is now official. Info from several sites confirms what is in this link.
http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk...ws_277403.html

No idea of rough percentages yet, but I will know once the new list is published. I have however seen pro lenses advertised at up to 8.6% above current list, suggesting at least another 15% is on the cards.
I have not followed the Sigma range, but if as this link suggests they raised prices by an average of 40% then this round from Nikon could be a bit painful particularly for the pro end of the lens range. Nikons last price rise was generally around 15% on lenses so considerably less than the Sigma number.
