Drop in inflation doesn’t mean lower prices… just means slower increases.
I’d like to see this year compared to two years ago. I’m no statistician so I don’t know how to do that math (do you just add the ~7% from last year and the ~3% from this year together?).
Almost. An increase of 7% is: 1 + 0.07 = 1.07. A further 3% increase is 1.03 times that, which results in 1.07 x 1.03 = 1.102 or a 10.2% increase.
Thank you. So when they say inflation was ‘only’ ~3% they’re making it sound better than it really is. 🤮
Can't help but think int rates will go up to 7% by end of this year.
