Statistics depends on the sample. That is why my assumption was that it is drawn from the population of the USA, then by definition it is exactly (not probably) statistically correct. Because the average varies depending on where the population was ...

US President Trump: Inflation Is Down To A Perfect Number; Hardly Any Inflation At All

Depends on the sample, and then, the Bell curve. By the way, I assume you mean that the sample comprises only people from the USA.

Trump on Fed: We will name a new chairman early

Do your favourite ones have names or do they slink and hide behind a bot name like yourself?

As Trump berates Goldman, other economists agree that higher tariff inflation is coming

There is still inflation. Not all of it is within the bounds of the comfort zone, should components be looked at. Core services (quite a significant part of expenditure) have increased now for two periods to I think 3.2% annually, and are at the ...

Will Powell use Jackson Hole speech to push back on hopes for September rate cut?

Zero tariffs have been "consumed" (I think you mean absorbed) by foreign nations. Yes, what is happening is at least a couple things. US companies/importers/retailers are absorbing part of the tariffs if they apply. Just demonstrates that there must ...

As Trump berates Goldman, other economists agree that higher tariff inflation is coming

Such a shame Bernie Madoff is no longer with us. He'd be worth a pardon to do what he was best at.

Jerome Powell’s job just got a whole lot easier as inflation data sidesteps disaster

Jerome Powell’s job just got a whole lot easier as inflation data sidesteps disaster

I don't know what is meant by describing a tax as "stealth". Sure any goods and services tax (GST) is indirect (this includes a tariff), as it is collected by someone and then passed onto the tax department, but so what? Could say that about other ...

Whatever the number, I'm waiting for the usual 20 or 50 fake bots to ask "buy gold??".

Markets Brace for US CPI Data as Dollar Steadies
