    So companies won’t be gouging prices so much? I mean, I can’t believe that. Lower cost of materials just means even more record profits, doesn’t it?

    Does this mean there isn’t going to be a soft landing or does it relate to that at all?

      If anything, it’s more evidence for a soft landing. Prices coming down is a good sign currently and means the Fed can potentially start lowering rates sooner. Unemployment is still low and consumer demand is still high so prices stabilizing is really just the last piece.

      It’s probably too soon to say but I don’t think this refutes that idea. Especially because of this:

      with a 12.4% decline in the cost of diesel fuel accounting for half of the decrease.
