Details, details. Fed stopped publishing weekly data but still publishes monthly data. But the "latest" information is not so current. Here near mid-June, the latest published data is April. The M1 data (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M1SL) is sobering, jumping from $4T in April 2020 to $19T in April 2021 (almost 5x in a year). M1 is cash plus demand deposits (like checking accounts), i.e., right-now money. That's a LOT of demand. The printing pressed have been busy.

Check the M1. M2, and M3 charts if you can find them. The Fed discontinued publishing M3 data some time ago and discontinued weekly M1 and M2 data recently (your inner voice should be screaming WTH?). If you can buy something now that's needed and durable, do so. This will not end well. -----Original Message----- From: Mercedes On Behalf Of G Mann via Mercedes Sent: Tuesday, June 8, 2021 8:14 PM To: Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Cc: G Mann <g2ma...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Cheap Chinese lifts Check the price of steel over the past 60 days. Steel has risen in price over 150%. That, along with the price of fuel, which impacts ship fuel, and road fuel, also, has impacted the end price of Chinese goods.
