But we saved everything 🙂.
A new data signal is pointing to another substantial Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase for computer software and accessories. Anna Wong noted that this category carries a 0.03% weight in the CPI but is more significant in the PCE deflator, with a 1.2% weight. She also referenced recent swings in the broader recreational goods and vehicles segment, which includes computer software.
Wong has previously commented on oil market volatility, predicting that prices could surge to $150-$200 within two months due to geopolitical developments related to Trump. She also observed the Federal Open Market Committee's recent decision to upgrade its GDP growth forecast as an unusual response to the Iran War and oil price increases. Her recent software sector outlook follows these earlier analyses of shifting cost pressures across different components of inflation.
