I said the previous night’s market fall reflected lower retailer margins, naming Target and Lowe’s, and argued that inflation would eventually affect India: inflation will eventually lead to lower margins; passing on higher costs will taper demand. I gave no figures or supporting evidence for these effects.
On 2022-05-02, I asked whether demand for a Toyota Fortuner would slow at 60 lakhs or 70 lakhs, after someone told me it now cost 50 lakhs. I reported the current price as hearsay, not as a verified figure, and gave no forecast or answer.
On 2022-05-11, I asked what people would stop buying first if inflation led to higher unaffordable prices. I listed homes, autos, stocks, jewelry, watches, electronics, holidays, and new clothes, and wondered whether holidays, autos, and electronics would be cut first; I gave no evidence or definite ordering.
