New Study Exposes 'Greedflation' Impact A recent study by the Groundwork Collaborative highlights a striking trend in the current economic landscape: over half of the inflation surge in the past year is attributed to ‘greedflation,’ a phenomenon where corporations leverage excessive profit-taking. Despite a decrease in the overall pace of consumer inflation, it has settled around 3%, with recent months seeing unexpected rises. This trend persists even as prices for wholesalers show stability or decline, indicating that the inflationary pressures are not entirely driven by market fundamentals. The study’s findings emphasize that corporate profits are at record highs, suggesting a link between these profits and the sustained inflation rates. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts U.S. GDP Growth Slows to 1.3% in Q1 Amid Weaker Consumer Spending READ MORE In Response to a Steady Fed, Southeast Asia Adjusts Rates to Safeguard Currencies READ MORE Central Banks' Gold Reserves Grow for Ninth Month Despite Slowdown READ MORE Investors Flock to Safe Havens After Trump Assassination Attempt READ MORE Central Banks' Gold Rush Propels Prices to Unprecedented Levels READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
