Breakthrough in cost of living trends in November
November brought a tentative downturn in cost of living and food prices according to U S government indices. Food prices peaked in August at 216 8 and fell to 200 by late November while the general cost of living eased from a July–August peak of 174 5 to about 171. The drop, though modest, prompts expectations of further declines as statistics lag. Dairy items mostly fell in the last two months with eggs as the exception. Milk and meat brokers anticipate continued inventory liquidation signaling a possible further price retreat.
