I agree we have seen a pull back in things like energy and fert but cpi is a sticky thing. Nothing has been fixed and volatility in the middle east can change energy prices in a hurry. Yes Errol M2 has shrunk, but the Fed stopped reporting the broader measure of money supply M3 years ago so the truth is opaque.
By my calculations true cpi has averaged 6% compounding yearly since 1990 to account for the home alone basket of groceries price change. Gold price 1990 was around $400usd an ounce today its at an all time high of $2070usd.
