Primary Articles Inflation is down from 18.54% last week to 18.05% this week. 14th August data was revised up from 15.5% to 15.88%. The index last year steepened after October, so unless we see another inflationary hike right now, the headline number should come down – still, 18% down to what, 10%? That’s still too high – and means negative real rates.
