“Inflation slowdown stalls” is a really weird way to say that monopolies are continuing to act like monopolies.
Are you suggesting that they acted differently last month or pre-inflation?
Everyone knows that macroeconomics is largely governed by how greedy the CEOs felt like being on a given day.
continuing
Inflation (prices going up) slowdown (prices going up slower) stalls (“prices going up slower” is going slower)
Thank you. Ffs.
Maybe charge the CEOs with price gouging?
I don’t know how this is news, 3.2% is a pretty healthy number.
If we had 3.2% inflation in the month of July alone, I’d prefer not to see 45.9% inflation over the next year.
Edit: reading more comments (and still not the article) it looks like this is a rise from last July, so yearly. In which case yeah, it’s not 2%, but it’s not super alarming either.
For context that is higher then Federal Reserves target for a YEAR!
The 3.2% is July 2023 vs July 2022. From June 2023 to July 2023 was only 0.2%
Yeah it’s definitely a poorly written title for anyone not following this super closely.
