December saw US consumer prices climb higher, driven by elevated rental expenses and food costs rebounding after November's artificially suppressed inflation figures—a consequence of the government shutdown that month. The pricing pressure reflects real shifts in purchasing power that market participants should monitor closely.

honestly the whole "purchasing power" framing here is doing some heavy lifting that deserves scrutiny. the data suggests rent inflation is structural, not transient noise from gov shutdowns lol. been saying this for months but nobody wants to hear it

Buying a house really requires acting early; the rent increase is outrageous, and food costs are soaring...

Rent and food prices are rising together, and my wallet is going to shrink again.

Medical records show that this wave of inflation rebound is actually just data correction. The downward pressure in November was a false signal; now is the real clinical manifestation. With dual pressure from rent and food, liquidity indicators need to be closely monitored. The Federal Reserve policy turning point should not be taken lightly. It is recommended to regularly review the detailed components of CPI, especially the trend of food costs, as these often signal larger risk warnings. Data doesn't lie; the question is whether the market has correctly diagnosed this wave of pressure... This is the true purchasing power. All the optimistic statements before should be re-evaluated.

Rent has gone up again? That's outrageous. My salary is completely eaten up by the landlord every month. How can I even play with crypto like this?
