Inflation’s Collapse

[sumdumguy]

Metal prices have collapsed. Oil down. Deflation is coming.

Fill me in by, “metal prices have collapsed”. Do you think that will be reflected in the price of steel buildings?

Pelosi and Freehand, will keep the price of oil UP...don't kid yourself. After the Nov midterms... we will be back to $110 pronto... to keep the big green deal alive. The EU has no choice, Russia will keep the pressure on.. the Green energy scheme requires high NG and oil to drive alternative energy development. The strategic US oil reserve has been 'depleted'... it is being repurchased... 6 months out on futures... which will short the oil market then.

Interesting times.... Blessings and Salutations

How does raising rates stop inflation? The idea of raising rates to combat inflation is exactly to drive the cost of everything higher!

This impacts mortgages, loans right away or when renewal time comes and then the eventual rise in costs is passed down to all goods. When people can’t afford gas, food and the mortgage/car/toy payments, they stop spending.

When the high prices of goods and the money wasted on interest payments means that everybody is broke and stops spending, prices of goods theoretically should go down.

Raising rates would work really well if it was a demand driven inflation. But if it is supply-driven inflation, with weather and wars and supply chain issues and labor issues and shortages and years long under investment in energy etc, then raising interest rates just makes it more expensive to attempt to produce those things, which makes inflation even worse.

Isn’t this stagflation?

Remember how this went the last time around? Commodity shortages in the 70's led to high prices, then for 30 years ag took it up the rectum as inflation seriously blew out our bottom line...

Inflation will be double digits. Errols thesis cant account for govt fools that refuse to drill for oil.
