Wholesale prices surprisingly fell slightly in August, providing breathing room for the Federal Reserve to approve an interest rate cut at its meeting this month, according to a Bureau of Labor Statistics report Wednesday.

The producer price index, which measures input costs across a broad array of goods and services, dropped 0.1% for the month, after a downwardly revised 0.7% increase in July and well off the Dow Jones estimate for a 0.3% rise. On a 12-month basis, the headline PPI saw a 2.6% gain.

Our board experts have declared the rate should remain unchanged. If we do anything different, it will just cause stagflation

The cut to July and August coming in so anemic is a big boost for the possibility of a cut. As long as CPI doesn't move upward by .2 or more, a rate cut next week should be a lock.

Retail prices need to come the frick down. I have not noticed any decrease whatsoever and in fact, I'd go as far as to say that groceries are still increasing where I am.

They are never coming down. They are only slowing down.

Inflation has to go negative for prices to go down, ain't happening, and if it does; youre probably going to wish we weren't in that situation.

I cant believe he even asked. They have all been on record stating if a cut happens inflation will skyrocket along with the evil tariffs that are causing folgers and swatch to hike prices one time

Joshlyn or whatever said it just the other day

SDV doesn’t understand things are dynamic. Saying rates should stay unchanged in May doesn’t mean that’s true in September. I’m fine with a cut now. I think 50 is too much but plausible.

Inflation is the function of too many dollars chasing too few goods and services. Deflation, therefore is not enough dollars to buy existing goods and services.

In order to get to a deflationary environment you either have to unrealistically overproduce a ton of products (not going to happen) or you have to have a recession strong enough and last long enough to cut enough jobs for a long enough period that there simply aren't enough buyers out there making enough purchases to need to keep refilling shelves. That's not an environment anyone should want, regardless of whether or not it's needed to reset the economy.
