Intraday Commentary From Jim Bianco
Here is a chart of real wages (wage growth minus inflation). Note that March was just 0.2% (y/y wage growth was 0,2% higher than y/y CPI). When the April CPI is out next week, the April update of this chart should turn negative.
The red bars from 2020 to 2022 (again, inflation more than wages) really damaged the public psyche (and particularly the bottom of the K). Is another series of red bars coming, and what will that do to the public’s psyche this time?
Restated, this chart will widen further, angering an already unhappy public about “affordability.”
