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.
๐ฎ 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 !
