It is important to know when and why our prices can fluctuate to eliminate confusion. These are just SOME of the reasons as to why , to find out more check out our blog: https://zurl.co/7i09

A really nice explainer by CNBC on how moderating inflation levels(excluding some categories) doesn't always equate to easing financial stress on consumers. Price hikes as a phenomenon, has historically always been a unidimensional concept - when was the last time you heard a brand pull back on pricing (without grammage change)? This directly affects consumers. While macro volatility has its role to play in corporations foreseeing downturns, and choosing to stick to current prices so as to forego future hikes. There are some non-discretionary categories, as the video points out, where input costs have declined sharply(wood pulp). But because the involved players(K-C and P&G) have monopolies (>70% MS in the US), their brand equity allows them to hold that pricing power, with consumers left with limited choices. One blanket rule or sentiment might not be suitable for all categories. Stakeholders will need to look at input cost dynamics, current structure of the market, consumer demand and labour costs across categories to judge if a player's pricing isn't justified.

The main difference between these categories is the relationship between the current market price and the strike price, which impacts an option's intrinsic and extrinsic value. Read more 👉 https://lttr.ai/ASp3x

❗ **USD/CAD offers better risk exposure on selling high, 1.3665 eyed** USD/CAD’s recent bias is bearish. USD is under pressure after the recent data on inflation and labour market. Rising Oil prices can support CAD. Fading a rally offers a better risk-reward ratio. The pair has upside barriers at 1.3640 and 1.3665. Supports are located at 1.3590 and 1.3560. Today’s calendar is light except for Fed speakers. Some European markets are closed, and Canada is on holiday, too. I expect sideways or upside corrective price action with value setups on selling high.

Following on from our EXPLNERS short last week on the distressing price rises we are currently seeing in our favourite chocolate bars, I found this great explainer from Vox that does a beautiful job of explaning why inflation just can't be zero, even if we'd like it to be. Sharing because it is a masterclass in bringing data to life. They use the same chart over again, building it up, focusing in on different parts, deconstructing it and rebuilding it to tell a complex story clearly and simply. My AHA moment is at 7.05 when they explain how inflation targets protect against getting into a spiral of deflation. https://lnkd.in/evn7y-Wg
