As inflation rates climb to multi-decade highs across the world, some of the biggest drivers of consumer-price growth have entered a new and welcome phase: Their prices are actually declining.

@mattlundy33 explains: tgam.ca/3c2kM0M
Crude oil, wheat and lumber are among commodities that have tumbled recently. Shipping rates on major trade routes are sinking from record highs. And used-car prices, which surged during the past two years, are showing early signs of tailing off. tgam.ca/3c2kM0M
Wholesale gasoline prices are dropping, too, which should trickle over to retail pricing in the coming weeks. Already, the average price of regular unleaded gas in Canada has fallen below $2/L, having peaked at $2.15 a month ago. tgam.ca/3c2kM0M Image

Aritzia has raised its expectations for sales this year, but lowered its forecasted gross profit margin, as retailers across the industry continue to be affected by higher-than-expected inflationary pressures.

tgam.ca/3bYOtje
The Vancouver-based apparel seller now expects net revenue for this fiscal year to be between $1.875-billion to $1.9-billion, driven largely by strength in its U.S. business.

tgam.ca/3bYOtje Image
Aritzia also expects gross profit margin to decline by roughly 100 to 150 basis points compared to last year as supply chains continue to be stretched thin, inflation takes a toll, and COVID relief subsidies it received in the prior year have gone away
