CPI was up 8.3% year/year as of April and is expected to calm down to 8.2% in May but I'm not so sure as oil and gasoline looked like this in May vs April:     That's higher, right?  Now, I'm no "Leading Economist" but when Oil and Gasoline are 5-10% higher during the month – it's a little hard to imagine how general prices came down but maybe I'm too dumb to understand the nuances of economics? Cotton and Orange Juice?   Corn and Rice? …
