Today, we want to draw attention to the price differences now versus a year ago for multiple assets. While some commodities make a case for the reacceleration of inflation (presuming they continue higher), others do not. We would like to hear your opinion on the subject. Also, feel free to share any other assets we omitted.

@louistran_016, Yes, Saudi Arabia and Russia are working to propel the price higher by cutting output, which seems to work for now. But I do not know whether it will last. We will see. As for the rest of the commodities, I have no opinion. Thanks for the comment.

Copper acts as a fairly strong economic indicator in actuality... if we see continued demand pressures on copper, we could have more indication of recessionary spending cuts relative to consumer and construction demand.

Is anyone still buying the accuracy of the magic-hat Fed figures? The best indicator of inflation is your local super market, where you are literally paying 30-300% premiums on the same items being purchased a mere 2-3 years ago. Equities are inflated, real asset prices are inflated (look at 400K+ USD home prices within the US). When we're told these numbers are 3-6%, does anyone still believe that in earnest?
