Expect CPI to Turn Up

Year over Year CPI


CPI is beginning to level (and turn) in year over year figures. Looking at the breakdown of CPI, we see transportation costs (mainly fuel) being the driver. As high oil prices begin to fall off the year over year baseline, expect headline CPI to begin moving up, even if core prices continue to move down due to economic weakness.

It's not a question of enough, pal. It's a zero sum game, somebody wins, somebody loses. Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another.
