Markets drifted higher today after another encouraging inflation report indicating
cooling prices for the stuff businesses spend money on
.
The Labor Department’s Producer Price Index (PPI) rose 0.2% last month, driven mainly by higher gas prices. Core prices stayed roughly flat in October, but wholesale costs are still 8% higher overall than a year ago.
Credit card debt is soaring
. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported credit card balances rose by 15% in the third quarter, the most significant increase in over 20 years. For the last two years, consumers have been able to manage their debt well, with delinquency rates at historic lows. Last quarter,
delinquencies rose across every loan type.

🤓 Inside Scoop...
The
Producer Price Index (PPI)
is another important indicator for economists tracking
inflation
. Inflation is the rate at which things get more expensive. Unlike the
Consumer Price Index (CPI)
, which looks at a set basket of stuff your average consumer spends money on and tracks how much it costs each month, the PPI tracks the prices of wholesale goods - like how much Ford pays for the tires it installs in its cars before selling them to you. The rate of change in those prices is inflation. Prices rarely decline. Inflation, aka rising prices, is only a problem when it's really fast. It's really fast right now. Business supply costs increasing by 8% per year is not manageable.
