This post and its parent hit the nail on the head. Levels aren't particularly worrisome. High, sure, not scary high. However, you should still be worried. Just not about current prices.
It's various first and second derivatives + the amount of "potential energy" in the system that have (informed) people scared.

- throwawaygh 5y ago> But you’re mistaking inflation for the rate of inflation growth. You mean... like... a first derivative? What am I mistaken about? I literally said literally exactly this: >> It's various first and second derivatives + the amount of "potential energy" in the system that have (informed) people scared. (and, in fact, it's not just the rate of inflation but also several other related rates of change and rates of rates of change and stocks of things that can fuel changes in those rates, but engaging in that nuance seems a bit fruitless given that you seem to be literally repeating my own point back to me while thinking you're disagreeing with me.) > The rate of inflation growth is horrible right now. yes thanks for repeating my point for me.
