<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1167412, member: 29012&quot;]In my perspective (after previous discussion with knowledgeable folks here =) inflation is how much the monetary supply is expanded beyond the rate of expansion of goods and services. So inflationary pressures to me do not mean the inflation rate, but the impact on prices (commodities vs. USD). I also think the housing market will continue to remain deflationary, but I don&#039;t know that that&#039;s enough to combat the current uptrend in inflation. In a free market I would expect rising prices at some point to stifle demand and then come back down. I don&#039;t think we will see a drop in oil prices though, because they&#039;ve been having record profits for a while now. IMO part of the reason the price is high is because people are still paying for it, but inflation plays a role too, and as long as energy is up everything else will be too. So, while I interpret their verbage as saying prices will come back down, I do not think that will be the case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
