Users: Brian Ripley: CPI Inflation US+Canada 2008-2015

CPI Inflation US+Canada 2008-2015

The USD/CAD ratio has turned up this past week. A strong U.S. Dollar will mute U.S. inflation since domiciled U.S. producers will have a more difficult time setting export prices, and that leads to headlines like "HP plans to eliminate 55,000 jobs by the end of 2015".  

In Canada, we can expect our main activity of consumption to be dampened by rising import prices. We may have to switch from Ikea to Craigslist to stuff our condos with.
