Inflation -
When you calculate the cost of ALL items, inflation increased from 3.1%-3.4% - driven higher by one single category: Housing. Since this is typically driven by one-year lease rates, you’ll see that inflation has actually been BELOW 2% for almost an entire year when "Shelter" is excluded.
Soft Landing -
The more time goes on, the closer we’re getting to the illusive “soft landing,” where inflation gracefully comes down without a recession or rising unemployment. However, according to a report, "A soft landing means the top 1% gets record stock prices while you get stuck with the most unaffordable housing market ever, along with permanent price increases & record credit card debt.”
The 2024 Stock Market - Check Out AWealthOfCommonSense Blog: awealthofcommonsense.com/2024...
In all but one case in 2007, all-time highs led to even more all-time highs one year later - and, besides the 1960s and 1970s era of stagflation - 3, 5, and 10 year total returns were also positive. As Ben points out, “The average one, three, five and ten year total returns following new highs were +16%, +27%, +59% and +206%, respectively.”
It's also worth noting that some data disagrees with this, pointing out that - since 1990, every time the Federal Reserve lowers rates, the market drops. That's because The Federal Reserve hasn’t dropped rates unless they absolutely need to - so market drops have often coincided with rate cuts.
The 2024 Housing Market -
According to a recent report from Zillow, buyers are finally seeing some relief with lower mortgage rates and Sellers’s rate locks are appearing to wear off, with signs that they’re coming back to the market. Case in point: “A recent Zillow survey of homeowners found that 21% are considering selling their home within the next three years, up from 15% a year ago.”
On top of that, it’s also reported that values are actually beginning to fall. For instance, “home values only climbed month-over-month in just three of the 50 largest metro areas in December.”
Although, the downside is that - for potential homebuyers, “listings are still going under contract in about a month - which is 50% faster than pre-pandemic norms.”
As far as prices are concerned…they say that “the demand for housing will remain high, based on a large share of Millennial first-time homebuyers looking to buy homes, which will push home prices up. We forecast home prices to increase 2.8% in 2024 and 2.0% in 2025 nationally.”
It’s also anticipated that 2024 is going to be a “pivot year,” where we're going to see homebuilders meet that pent-up demand for single-family and multifamily housing,” adding some much-needed supply back onto the market.
The January 2024 Federal Reserve Rate Cut -
The FED decided to pause rates for the foreseeable future - although, in terms of when the highly anticipated "rate cut" is going to happen, they’re leaving it “To Be Determined." Jerome Powell recently “reflected a growing sense that inflation is under control and growing concern about the risks that "overly restrictive" monetary policy may pose to the economy.”
Reuters also pointed out that they no longer included the “phrase ‘unacceptably high’ to describe inflation, while laying out reasons why they felt inflation would continue to fall.” All but “TWO Fed officials see the benchmark policy rate lower by the end of 2024 than it is now, with a majority of policymakers seeing it trimmed by at least three-quarters of a percentage point.”

[@mr.liquifier8343]

The thing is about inflation rates when categorizing everything together is some things have such a high profit margin but some items don't really need to change pricing cuz inflation, and some do because greed, majority of items have big profit margins It's hard to inflate it that bad The fact it's increasing so bad Is something more serious going on I think it's because Joe biden's is in office

Hyperinflation coming on select items. Asia ocean freight is taking double the time to arrive because of Red Sea issues. So demand will remain the same but companies will operate with plenty shortages, therefore by increasing the cost of supply (or stagnant) while increasing the profitability and market share. Resulting in market push or demand destruction beginning on specialty market sectors. As a result, eventually centralizing the demand to big companies who can afford the cut of profits as prices begin to stabilize a year from now on.

the rate of inflation will not improve because the Panama cannel is running dry and shipping thru the cannel is down 60% which will drive up prices.

Thoughts on the mother of all short squeezes?

[@aaronfritz7234]

As a professional in the power industry; prices are just starting to rise and will continue to rise for years to come. Why? As most things it’s really complicated for a multiplicity of reasons. In short solar power has destabilized the market. Solar is limited by the sun and must be backed up by other forms of generation. Generation derived from steam cannot react fast enough. So any generation from steam like natural gas runs all day with little to no revenue and that drives prices up at night. There are a dozen other reasons prices are on their way up. It seems that power generation is under attack on multiple fronts. Given our current trajectory higher power prices are an inevitable and maybe even lack of supply.

[@AH_mich]

Food costs are up a steady 30-40%

[@bakerbrown6]

I hate the rain on everybody’s parade here, but here’s how it works: when the Fed announces, they’re going to cut rates it always rallies the market. When the cuts actually happen it tanks😂every time.

[@GrahamStephan]

So far, that's been correct. BUT - there's usually been a severe reason for them to lower rates.

[@alecvandeleest]

@@GrahamStephan are you agreeing in a contradictory statement? What?

[@WeekendsOutsideFL]

This is absolutely correct. The rate cuts don’t happen until it’s an urgent situation because truth be told there are numerous drawbacks to low interest rates. Some people think inflation is primarily a function of Covid social and supply disruption largely, and the money people saved in lockdown, not stimulus activity, so inflation may come down, but as indebted and tapped out of cash Americans are, a serious downturn is likely this year. But the cycle is elongated likely due to all that stimulus which did in all actuality flood the economy and banks
