PRICE GOUGING

All Eyes on Wells Fargo, Citi and Chase

Normally, the current rising interest rate environment should be good for banks as they charge more for the loans they make. But the problem is that inflation reduces the purchasing power of households, which affects their ability to honor their loan payments. This should therefore in turn impact the banks.

US Inflation Spikes to 8.2%

LINKS: The 2023 Stock Market Collapse

The primary negative difference between now and 2009 is rampant inflation. The consumer price index monthly increase year over year since the second quarter has been at the highest level in four decades. This has sucked purchasing power out of American households as the prices of such necessities as food, fuel and clothing have risen by double-digit percentages. The price of gasoline hit a record $5 a gallon in June. As oil prices have fallen, the price has backed down closer to $3. However, OPEC+ recently said it would cut crude production sharply. Other nations cannot replace this, so gas prices almost certainly will rise again, and perhaps sharply.

Another Inflation Metric Just Smashed Through PredictionsThat is, producer inflation has not peaked and the Biden administration's frequent bragging about its work to attack or bring down inflation is just bluster that hasn't done anything to ease burdens on American companies.What's more, the increased and apparently accelerating prices for producers is likely to make the already hawkish

Federal Reserve even more aggressive in its rate hikes aimed at bringing inflation down to Chairman Jerome Powell's target of 2 percent — rate increases that Powell has admitted will bring more economic hardship for the U.S. and more pain for Americans. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2022/10/12/another-inflation-gauge-just-burned-past-predictions-n2614397?utm_source=thdailypm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl&recip=19488896

Joe Biden's America: Wholesale Prices Rise in September - "Hotter Than Expected" (VIDEO)

The producer price index, a measure of prices that U.S. businesses get for the goods and services they produce, increased 0.4% for the month, compared with the Dow Jones estimate for a 0.2% gain. On a 12-month basis, PPI rose 8.5%, which was a slight deceleration from the 8.7% in August.

Excluding food, energy and trade services, the index increased 0.4% for the month and 5.6% from a year ago, the latter matching the August increase.

Food prices helped boost the increase in goods inflation, with a 1.2% monthly increase. Energy rose 0.7% after posting massive gains the previous two months.

The Biden-Pelosi-Schumer deficits are a catastrophe

While the Biden administration brags that it “cut” the federal government’s annual deficit in half in the fiscal year 2022, the reality is that the $1.4 trillion deficit is not a triumph but a travesty.

IMF Chief Economist: 'The Worst Is Yet to Come'

“The worst is yet to come,'' said IMF chief economist Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas. Three major economies — the United States, China and Europe — are stalling. Countries accounting for a third of global economic output will contract next year, suggesting that 2023 “will feel like a recession'' to many people around the world, he said Tuesday.

Biden Administration Drains the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to Its Lowest Level Since 1984

AAA says that the national average of gasoline prices is $3.910 per gallon as of Sunday, Oct. 9 for regular gasoline. A year ago the average was $3.266 for the same type. That means prices are now up almost 20% (+19.7%) in the last year. In the last month, it's up 4.6% alone.

Moreover, the average in California is now $6.335 per gallon, up 42.8% from $4.436 a year ago for regular gasoline. In the last month, it's up 18.6% from $5.34.
