Product/ commodity inflation may stop going up. But service inflation already baked in. ( Rent/ electric/ salary increase/ retail food prices won’t come down).

At best .no more stagflation.
All non corporate employees log will cut consumption. Companies with mountains of debt have to pay more interest. Demand is weak.so prices can not be increased as much as increase in cost. So profit famine is in store.Soft landing
