More government "fuzzy math" (aka lies) that inflation is falling while the data says otherwise? From pmi.spglobal.com S&P Global US Services PMI® Growth of activity sustained at end of first quarter Key findings Further rises in output and new orders, but rates of growth ease Pace of job creation moderates Selling price inflation at eight-month high Comment Chris Williamson, Chief Business Economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said: "The US service sector reported a further rise in business activity in March, adding to signs that the economy enjoyed robust growth in the first quarter. Combined with an acceleration of growth in the manufacturing sector, the latest services PMI data point to GDP having risen at an approximate 2% annualized rate in the first three months of the year. "Confidence in the outlook for the coming year has also lifted higher, which should help to sustain solid growth into the second quarter. "The sustained upturn is being accompanied by renewed upward price pressures, however, with wage growth in particular driving costs higher. Rising raw material and fuel prices are also adding to cost burdens, which is in turn driving average selling prices for goods and services higher at a rate not seen since July of last year. Both manufacturers and services providers alike are seeing intensifying cost and selling price inflation rates, which is likely to feed through to higher consumer price inflation in the near term." ... Rates of both input cost and output price inflation quickened, and were at six- and ten-month highs respectively. Sharper price rises were seen in both monitored sectors.
