| Let's start with some good news: Inflation relief. |
| Inflation eased for the third straight month in December as gas prices and grocery bills leveled off. |
| (Rent kept surging, but the other two household budget items declining made up for that). |
| Consumer prices were still up 6.5% from a year ago but down since November, according to the Labor Department's consumer price index, which measures what people pay for goods and services. |
| But, if you're not keeping track, that increase was the slowest annual gain since October 2021. It was also in line with economists' estimates. Phew. |
| A trip to the grocery store is still an exercise in sticker shock. (Eggs!) But gas prices are declining on worries about a global recession and lower oil demand. |

| "It will feel uncomfortable," Ryan Sweet, chief U.S. economist of Oxford Economics, told USA TODAY. "Recessions are always painful but the next downturn won't be anything close to…the past two." |
