CPI Shows Rents Are Rising, Zillow Forecasting Drop In 2023; Professor Says Fed's Powell Will 'See The Light'

While consumer price index data in 2022 has been showing rent prices accelerating, Zillow Group Inc. (NASDAQ:Z) is reporting that a decline in rent inflation for 2023 can already be forecasted.

In the last Fed meeting ending on Nov. 2, chairman of the Federal Reserve Jerome Powell said, “It is very premature to be thinking about pausing. People when they hear ‘lags’ think about a pause. It is very premature, in my view, to think about or be talking about pausing our rate hikes. We have a ways to go.”
