The Amazon Economic Indicator Says Inflation Is Easing

On the most recent quarterly earnings conference call on Thursday, the company announced it has now built out the capacity it needed. It is even overstaffed with excess warehouse capacity, and plans to pull back on hiring and investing in the short term while it waits for demand to catch up.

This is probably the best leading indicator you can get that general inflationary pressures in the economy should begin easing over the next couple of quarters.
