US wealth boom collides with price shock

Original: In the US, a wealth boom and a price shock collide

The United States is experiencing two opposing economic forces at once: asset values and household wealth are rising strongly, while consumer prices continue to squeeze budgets.

Why now: Rising asset wealth alongside persistent price pressure is creating conflicting economic signals that are dominating financial debate.
