This marked the seventh consecutive month of price increases, with only a slight cooling from December&#8217;s 6.5% pace. The &#8220;core&#8221; measure of inflation, which excludes more volatile items such as food and energy, was also higher than expected, but slightly cooler than the month before at 5.6%. While certain items such as used cars, medical care, and airfares saw price decreases, essential items like energy, food, and shelter kept inflation elevated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Has the US shown inflation the door?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As discussed in last week\u2019s market wrap, the wildcard impact of China&#8217;s reopening and expected spending and growth boom could escalate inflation. The drop-off in the inflation of goods has hit a wall, which means any serious further dip in inflation will likely have to be driven by services. This will also be a challenge since Americans\u2019s wages are rising and have shifted spending to services recently, pushing prices upward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why should I care?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Federal Reserve has been raising interest rates for nearly a year to try to reestablish price stability in the economy, but with inflation cooling slowly, the Fed may have to hike rates higher and keep them higher for longer to bring inflation back towards its long-term 2% target. The persistently sticky and high inflation could further weigh on risky assets, such as stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What about the UK?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"625\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-696x435.png 696w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/2-672x420.png 672w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In January, UK inflation experienced a continued decline, with a 10.1% increase in overall prices compared to the same period the previous year, and a 5.3% increase on the &#8220;core&#8221; rate, which excludes more erratic food, energy, tobacco, and alcohol prices. The Bank has been increasing interest rates to control inflation and predicts that prices will increase by approximately 4% by year-end. This better-than-expected data supports the Bank of England&#8217;s projection that inflation will sharply decrease this year, and makes their projection seem less unrealistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Topic #2: Airbnb Had Its First Profitable Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-1024x636.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-1024x636.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-768x477.png 768w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-1536x954.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-696x432.png 696w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-1068x663.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-676x420.png 676w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3-356x220.png 356w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Airbnb profit, Source: Airbnb<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Airbnb reported impressive results, exceeding revenue and profit expectations in the last quarter and making 2022 its first full year of profitability. Despite high-flying airline prices and widespread economic turmoil, cross-border trips surged 49%, with China&#8217;s loosening Covid restrictions making travel from the Asia-Pacific region the real grower. Pandemic trends even went into reverse, with people opting for shorter stays in bustling cities, making city breaks account for half of all bookings last quarter, the first time that&#8217;s happened since the pandemic hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The bigger picture:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The company plans to invest in products beyond its main accommodation services again, giving renewed attention to offerings like &#8220;experiences&#8221;, including guided local excursions for travelers. With demand resilient so far this year, and travelers increasingly booking ahead, Airbnb gave an upbeat outlook that got investors bumping shares up 12%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Airbnb&#8217;s decision to expand beyond its main accommodation services and invest in offerings such as &#8220;experiences&#8221; could be a smart move, especially in light of recent trends in the travel industry. For instance, travel firm Tripadvisor reported that consumers have been redirecting their spending from goods to activities, which has boosted tour bookings and helped the company exceed revenue expectations in the last quarter. If Airbnb can tap into this trend, it could see success in its efforts to diversify its offerings and attract more customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Topic #3: HK banking system aggregate balance 2 year low<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"602\" height=\"302\" src=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3_b.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3_b.png 602w, https:\/\/www.syfe.com\/hk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/3_b-300x150.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 602px) 100vw, 602px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>HKMA had bought HK$4.223 billion ($538 million) from the market last Monday (13 Feb) to stop the local currency from breaking its weak end peg to the U.S. dollar.
