The Rogers index is heavily weighed toward grains and the bulk of the move in the chart that you keep posting can be attributed to wheat. No doubt the grains have been on fire recently. Meats, Sugar, Coffee are down/flat in this period. But the original arguement was that; price rises in grains are a result of normally functioning market of supply and demand, not inflationary pressures. (witness decade low global stocks) and the impact of grain prices on overall inflation is small (but point taken that it will hurt impoverished families more than others).
