Prices have gone up due to past inflation. They're not going to go down just because the current inflation rate has plateaued.

So whoop-de-do, it looks like the year on year acceleration of inflation has been stopped. While that's good news on a macroeconomic level, it feels very much like a "Good news everyone! The crippling cost of living should now only slowly get worse!" kind of situation on a personal level.

Maybe easing of interest rates will balance that slow increase , but I sure as shit don't see any great improvement on everyday living for the average person on the horizon.
