Inflation In The Current Economy
Largest Inflation Drop Since 2008
Consumer Prices Decline

 

    Amidst the chaos of the current pandemic, the fall in inflation is the silver lining. Consumer prices have declined by 0.8% in April. That is the lowest drop since December 200, the beginning of the Great Recession. Despite the $3 trillion in federal aid, the pandemic is still putting a downward presson prices.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The Stats: According to MarketWatch
