Top Predictions For Food, Oil, and House Inflation

7/3/2022

Everyday prices such as food, housing, and gas have gone up quite substantially in 2022. Food in The United States has gone up about 10% compared to 2021, but some constituents are reporting takeout food pricing increasing by 30%. Similarly, housing has gone up an additional 10% in 2022 largely in part that The United States needs to produce 1.5 million homes per year, and has been unable to do so for over a decade, even in a normal economy. Add in supply chain issues, and raw materials taking an additional six months to ship, one could argue it's a recipe for house prices to be sticky in nature. Additionally, many individuals and corporations refinanced in 2020 to a 2.5% interest rate, and with interest rates rising, it leaves very little motivation for individuals to move out of existing real estate. Since new purchasers cannot afford new housing, the demand for rentals will increase. Additionally, the Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates, which increases HELOC borrowing costs on landlords, who pass those cost down to consumers. Additionally, the price of oil went negative in 2020, and is currently at unsustainable levels in the long-term. This triple-entente is not good for consumers to spend, on top of corporations tightening the purse strings of a looming recession. One case study many individuals forgot about is when Europe embraced the Euro. When Europe embraced the Euro, many countries such as the Netherlands had their old currency price, but a Euro in front of it with the new currency, which was much higher in value. Real estate will continue to go up, food prices will be sticky, and gas will be back down to normal prices in the next two years. This means that employers will have to pay higher wages in order to attract talent, and many countries not experiencing high food prices, may exhibit a larger immigration influx. Just remember whenever prices are out of whack, like they were with Bitcoin in 2021, they eventually go back down to reality, due to reversion of the mean principle. On the other hand, housing and food prices tend to be sticky (outside of the 2008 crises). It is notable to consider the M1 money supply has not gone down, and increased by 500% from 2020. These prices will be offset by firms cutting spending, consumers cutting spending, and the prices will revert back to the mean at a more acceptable level with the political elections being a catalyst to more sustainable pricing for all.
