United States Sees Increasing Consumer Prices In 2023
By Shubhendra Anand , 07 July, 2023
Inflation of consumer prices in the United States has already calmed down, but the constant increase of 4 percent year over year has remained the same since May 2023, keeping pressure on households. But the producer price index has been declining continuously since July 2022. In contrast, the consumer price index is rising, and questions about the reasons behind the constant increase in prices have not changed the increased cost price for the producers.
Based on a survey, the data provides that many consumer product companies are increasing their bottom line instead of retrieving increased cost prices. The comparison of the consumer price index and producer price index data shows that the producers avoid making any changes in their cost rates to the consumers. The producer prices have also increased more than consumer prices during the pandemic. Both the prices have never moved together in a similar pattern, but the way the prices are moving in opposite directions now is very unusual.
The United States interest rates are putting more strain on the country's economic condition on the father side of the biggest consumer brands. This has also resulted in bankruptcies, fear of upcoming recession, and layoffs. The Federal Open Market Committee expects to pause the rate hikes keeping the current situation into consideration but has also assured of more rate hikes that may become more necessary in the future.
