Everything you always wanted to know about inflation (but were afraid to ask)
Briefly

"Corporate executives can take advantage of inflation. They can take advantage of things like supply chain issues to jack up prices above and beyond what their input costs would justify."
"Those 'input costs', or the costs related to producing something, are easing, which means companies no longer need to increase their prices as much."
"At the same time, consumers are pushing back against aggressive pricing strategies, so companies are starting to back down."
"High interest rates help combat inflation by raising the cost of borrowing money, which can then slow economic activity and therefore consumer spending."
