Consumer Rebellion Against Inflation
Overview
API
Consumer pushback is easing inflation, as profits drive it. Retailers report falling prices, indicating consumers' reduced willingness to support profit margin expansion. Automakers and other industries are experiencing a shift, with buyers becoming more price-sensitive. Governments and regulators are pressuring businesses to keep prices down, with concerns about price gouging. The surge in energy prices, triggered by supply shocks, has contributed to the inflationary episode, leading to calls for better management of energy prices.
