Our predictive inflation index has fallen from 3.0% last month to 2.6%. This decline suggests that monetary loosening has at least become much more justifiable than it was in July

Gas is up just in time for labor day. When was the last time these economists were inside a grocery store? Prescription meds no longer qualify for the generic price. But lowering interest rates for wall street will make everything better.

Is this measure really “predictive” or does it just take the noise out of the current inflation measure? To PREDICT inflation, one must observe the behavior of variables that CAUSE inflation, such as the behavior of monetary QUANTITIES. Bank credit is growing at its fastest since 2022.

Oh.. Don't close ur eyes. FINAL DEMAND PPI should keep u awake. Prefer sensibility to speculation. STAGGERED TARIFFS, PPI, Common Sense all say be logical. Herky jerky rate flux will not inspire confidence. Hold or 1/8th pt. for drama. Rather be riding the wave rather than miss or be crushed.

I don't trust anything that involves our government statistics.
