  • โœˆ๏ธ Airlines Fares: -12.1%

  • ๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ Fuel Oil: -24.8%

The year-over-year deceleration was largely a result of lower prices for gas, cars & FOOD! This is good to see since food prices kept rising.

Rent & transportation are the only major components that have higher inflation.

๐Ÿ”ฎ Now its only a matter of time before the Feds cut rates, it will still take time since the fight from 3% to 2% is a hard one just like losing that last bit of belly fat. Its going to be annoying !
