Inflation rates are coming down (disinflation). But make no mistake: the monetary system (fiat) needs a fast reflation like the central planners as well to keep their cantillon scheme alive. It could play out like it did back in the 70s.

Yes. A deflationary bust is possible, too. But global CB liquidity is rising, states are pumping new debt. I guess the deflationary chaos could follow later on. Next cycle

These are the data we have to deal with. And its ''disinflation''. So prices still rising. That it's manipulated simply has no importance for the markets.

The decrease in inflation rates is a positive sign, but we should be aware that the monetary system requires a swift reflation to maintain its stability. The central planners may need to take action to ensure the longevity of the cantillon scheme, similar to how it unfolded in the 70s.
