Morning,

Markets are down, prices are up! The biggest gainer was m/m CPI rising from 0.3% to 0.4%.
So called 'Supercore' inflation was also putting in gains with y/y at 4.8% and with an over 8% gain over the last annualized 3 mths period.

Ouch....... " Supercore accelerated to a 4.8% pace year-over-year in March, the highest in 11 months. "

Another gainer was the $US, the $AU falling back over a cent to 65c due to our low interest rates.

Oil holding up, Gold down.

Will declare the free-market can no longer be relied upon......
Declare! .... isn't that something tyrants and/or dictators do....?

Since Biden, or Albo for that matter, inflation hasn't fallen in any month, but in July 2022 it was flat.
Up 19.17% since Biden took Office.
