The fruits of the Orange Economy are already ripening.
Enjoy their bitter after-taste!
Suck that up, MAGAt vermin. You have voted for this.
Well, what's "up, up, up!" is the Supercore CPI.
It was at -0.2$ MoM in March ... but its +0.5% MoM now, which is an
annualized rate of +6% inflation.
FWIW, I'd not heard of this Supercore CPI until recently either.
From Google:
"Supercore CPI is a measure of inflation that focuses on the prices of services, excluding food, energy, and housing. It represents a narrower
slice of the overall Consumer Price Index (CPI) and is considered by
some to be a more accurate indicator of underlying inflation trends, particularly in the services sector."
Supercore CPI is Core CPI (which excludes food & energy) minus housing.
This puts its focus on price changes of services like healthcare, transportation, recreation, and other non-housing services. The Federal
Reserve is particularly interested in Supercore CPI because it can
reveal whether inflationary pressures are becoming entrenched in the
economy, especially in the labor-intensive service sectors.
TL;DR: higher inflation is becoming more firmly entrenched.
