Sign up for the newsletter here.The August 2022 customer rate index (CPI) print was released on Sept. 13, 2022, and it came in at 8.3% year-over-year development, and shocking all of the talking heads who were certain that inflation was due to slow down as all of the demand damage the Federal Reserve has actually been attempting to manufacture would start to strike the markets. Whats worse, the reported figure of 8.3% seems to be significantly underreporting the actual level of cost inflation that consumers are experiencing at the moment.I think its safe to state that the basket of products listed above can be considered important products to anyone trying to live a life of relative comfort. If the U.S. chooses to move forward with sanctions, it might exacerbate inflation issues in two ways, making it more difficult or expensive for Americans to gain access to Chinas production capabilities and/or stoking a response by China by increasing military activity around Taiwan, therefore making it harder for worldwide markets to access the essential computer chips produced by TSMC.While many of the talking heads out there would like you to think that inflation is slowing down, all I can see are things developing that will just serve to make the issues were experiencing considerably even worse.
