apropos of the recent inflation/deflation query... The CRB is an extremely poor gauge of inflation or deflation.
JOC-ERCI reports can be found here.

If you're a purist, we're technically stagflating, as an inflation rate of 1.3% exceeds nominal growth - which is approaching zero, or perhaps has turned negative (who really knows or cares?).

I'm in the inflation camp, for debt reasons, but we'll see in time how it plays out.
