Lettuce prices rose 24.9% in December from a year ago, according to government figures. That is nearly triple the increase for fruits and vegetables and significantly higher than the 6.5% overall inflation rate. #lettuce #inflation #foodprices #groceries #vegetables #economy #wsj #thewallstreetjournal #wallstreetjournal | 🍌 bananas are only up 2.37% in December from a year ago | *according to CPI, which measures inflation
Inflation-protected savings bonds, called I Bonds, have been one of the most enticing places to park your cash this year. But the current 9.62% interest rate is expected to go down starting Nov. 1. Today’s consumer-price index figure implies that the rate will be 6.47% next month—unless the U.S. Treasury decides to increase it by adding a fixed rate to the bond. The current rate of 9.62% still applies for all bonds purchased through Oct. 31. Those bonds will earn 9.62% for six months, then switch to the new rate for the next six months. The 9.62% rate is the highest paid since I Bonds were introduced in 1998. #inflation #ibonds #investment #cpi #cash #moneytok #consumerpriceindex #personalfinance #wsj #thewallstreetjournal #wallstreetjournal | An I Bond | What’s a good return on my cash right now? | for the next six months if you buy before Nov. 1 | at a 9.62% interest rate
