While I was wrestling the megasack of batteries into the antigrav backpack (those things weigh a ton!) I noticed Costco is now selling suits for $99. Which isn't all that unusual - except these suits were made from Super 120 fabric. Which is venturing surprisingly close to Brioni (favored tailor of Bond, James Bond) territory. Now I'm not suggesting Costco is the new shopping destination for anyone wanting bespoke tailoring, but I have to admit, it is difficult for me to see an inflationary reason for a pop in interest rates when fabric that used to cost hundreds of dollars per square metre is being sold as a finished product for $99. Will be very interesting to see where this all goes. I freely confess I have no firm sense of direction WRT US interest rates. And there are reasons other than inflation to jack up rates.
