Show Notes
US September consumer price data signaled disinflationary trends. Food prices have disproportionate political importance, but around 40% of the monthly increase in food prices was due to eggs. Can an election be swayed by an egg? Some key states saw food prices fall compared to August. Voters remember price levels, and tend to have an idea of a “fair” price for food items that would have been fixed in their minds many months ago. The political impact of this price report is probably marginal.
