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. Analysts say the divide is creating an uneven economy, with investors feeling richer than many workers and shoppers, and policymakers facing mixed signals on inflation, spending and the overall health of the recovery.
Why now: Rising asset wealth alongside persistent price pressure is creating conflicting economic signals that are dominating financial debate.
