The start of a long train of correlationsSorry for the late post, I had to tweek this chart here.
This is a comparison chart showing real disposable income to personal consumption expenditures, personal savings and corporate profit. Notice how the top two are now inverted. It's not 100% but that is your inflation. Less disposable income, higher priced expenditures. On the bottom I was tracking savings vs Corporate Profit. This was caused by the hand outs during the pandemic. This has now reverted back to pre 2020 levels after all that savings caught up in peoples accounts during the pandemic was needed after the money stopped flowing.
But, how does this correlate to the previous bonds chart? Well in a subtle and curious way. As the correction in savings happened, inflation kicked up. This is highlighted by a date range. Red date ranges are 08 and the pandemic and the yellow is the inflation start. The key to the bond chart correlation being inflation.
Now I get the obvious here, No I dont think the free handouts caused all this inflation, that would be crazy, just something I was tracking is all. In reality there are WAYYYYYY to many things going on to put inflation into a chart. Metals are still close to short supply, tech is hurting bad, the supply chain is still semi frozen and governments are still flip flopping between open and closed.
