U.S. Inflation Update: June PCE Inflation Edges Higher Than Expected

475 sats \ 15 comments \ @TomK 26 Jul econ

The latest June data shows the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, PCE inflation, at 2.6%, slightly above the anticipated 2.5%. Core PCE inflation matched expectations, maintaining at 2.5%.

Despite the flat PCE inflation rate, the Producer Price Index (PPI) is on the rise. Personal spending for June increased by 0.3%, aligning with predictions and improving from May’s 0.2%. However, personal income growth slowed to 0.2%, falling short of the 0.4% forecast and down from 0.5% in May.

Do you think it is the government, or the companies that are being greedy?

20 sats \ 2 replies \ @TomK OP 26 Jul

the government, which creates debt with printed money and thus robs the population of purchasing power in the future, makes it easy for itself by, in conjunction with the media, blaming greedy entrepreneurs as the cause of inflation. it is the same everywhere and always the same, and as long as people do not deal with the matter, they will also believe the lies told by politicians. Prices are set on the market and not by entrepreneurs. these clowns have never heard of competition

I have a feeling it is both. A major problem is the government causing inflation.

Not really good for U.S. and for the global fiat world. May be Trump will endorse Bitcoin and the World becomes a better place.
