U.S. inflation shows signs of moderating in July
The core consumer price index moderated slightly in July, the Labor Department said Wednesday.www.marketwatch.com
Goppers can now stop worrying about inflation.
The only thing they know they want for sure is to own the libs. Sadly they have no idea what that actually means and dying from covid ain't it.A little inflation was going to happen as the economy rebounded sharply. Or do these anti-maskers want their economy put back in time-out again?
wow
inflation down to .5%
and only reason for that is used car prices finally started to subside
food, gas, energy, and rent....you know the important shit...ALL MUCH HIGHER
so not going to jump for joy at a lessening rate at just under 5% right now
inflation is still out of control....
Energy prices rose 1.6% in July after a 1.5% gain in the prior month. Food prices moderated slightly, rising 0.7% after a 0.8% gain in June. Owners equivalent rent, a measure of housing, rose 0.3%.Why Food and Energy Prices Are Excluded
Food and energy prices are exempt from this calculation because their prices can be too volatile or fluctuate wildly. ... As a result, food and energy prices for these goods are excluded from the calculation of core inflation.

Why didn't gophers complain when trump was calling for this?Energy prices rose 1.6% in July after a 1.5% gain in the prior month. Food prices moderated slightly, rising 0.7% after a 0.8% gain in June. Owners equivalent rent, a measure of housing, rose 0.3%.
They arent included in the .5% but were included in the article....and they do matter
food 1.5% in just 2 months
energy 3.1% in just 2 months
yeah....nothing to worry about
It's your economy too, unfortunately.A little inflation was going to happen as the economy rebounded sharply. Or do these anti-maskers want their economy put back in time-out again?
That does not make much sense. The inflation will subside.It's your economy too, unfortunately.
what do "negative rates" have to do with inflation?Why didn't gophers complain when trump was calling for this?
Trump renews call for negative interest rates, says other countries are already enjoying the 'gift'
Trump has long called for the US Federal Reserve to lower interest rates and even go into negative territory throughout his presidency.markets.businessinsider.com
So you think negative rates won't cause inflation?what do "negative rates" have to do with inflation?
the OP and the thread is about INFLATION
negative rates or lower interest rates are to try and boost the economy
the issue becomes when it doesnt work, and the FED no longer has anything left in its arsenal to try and jump start a failing economy
I see we are back to complaining that CPI doesn’t include extremely volatile items.Energy prices rose 1.6% in July after a 1.5% gain in the prior month. Food prices moderated slightly, rising 0.7% after a 0.8% gain in June. Owners equivalent rent, a measure of housing, rose 0.3%.

food 1.5% in just 2 months
energy 3.1% in just 2 months

everyone should bookmark this post for later.It's your economy too, unfortunately.
please cite where that has happened before....So you think negative rates won't cause inflation?

Problem is most of us don't live only by Core-CPI expenses.U.S. inflation shows signs of moderating in July

Most of us do by it’s very definition. People also rely of volatile commodities whose prices can’t be controlled with monetary policies.Problem is most of us don't live only by Core-CPI expenses.
They cause asset bubbles, but not inflationSo you think negative rates won't cause inflation?

You all need classes on basic economicsThey cause asset bubbles, but not inflation
But contribute to actual on the ground inflation - yes? You think the difference matters to ordinary people?Most of us do by it’s very definition. People also rely of volatile commodities whose prices can’t be controlled with monetary policies.
