…which is very good news.

While inflation had spiked during the past year, the rate at which it’s increasing is slowing down. This is the good news.

This is a bit of a double-edged sword - on one hand, the rates predate the summer, where things are starting to open up and people will be traveling and services spending will go up, which indicates inflation could begin to drop. But with the Delta variant quickly spreading around the country and the low vaccination rates in some areas, inflation could continue to increase and spike further.
