Both PPI and CPI on an annual basis, year over year, are just over 2%, but YTD inflation thru May, first 5 months annualized is far lower, 1.4% for CPI, PPI about 0%

Why? Tariffs not very important, energy, real estate, healthcare, food, etc., all 'positive' US inflation tailwinds

US interest rates to fall soon as an added bonus!

Atlanta FED GDP tracker has US GDP growth for 2Q, ending in June at approx. 4%. Once the One Big Beautiful Reconciliation Bill passes Congress next month, the US economy will be off to the races!
