Grocery prices in the UK are holding firm at a 4.7% annual increase, according to fresh data from Worldpanel. That's not great news for everyday shoppers—household budgets are getting squeezed tighter as food costs refuse to ease up. While some sectors have cooled off, the supermarket aisle clearly hasn't gotten the memo. This sustained inflation keeps the pressure dial turned high for families already juggling energy bills and rent hikes. For those watching macro trends, persistent consumer price growth like this often signals broader economic friction that ripples through asset markets too.

Here we go again, UK inflation at 4.7%? LOL, where's the supposed cooling down? Seriously, can't even afford to eat anymore. Can we still trade cryptocurrencies? These supermarket businesses are really incredible. Costs have decreased, but prices remain stubbornly unchanged. The true nature of capitalists is fully exposed. The current market isn't good, and we still have to pay rent at home. Brothers, I really can't take it anymore. If this wave of inflation really affects the asset market... everyone holding positions, be careful.

British supermarkets are really bloodsucking, 4.7% and still rising. Without mining at home, I really can't hold on.

Is 4.7% even considered "good"? That's a joke—the tiny price drops in supermarkets are basically useless. This round of inflation in the UK is really like a dead pig not fearing boiling water; the asset market should have reacted long ago. Food inflation hits the hardest, directly hurting ordinary people's wallets. No matter how good other economic indicators look, it means nothing. The truth about persistent inflation is: the rich are cashing out, the poor are starving, and the middle class is getting squeezed. Supermarkets are deliberately lowering prices slowly—they're playing this game like pros.

Really? 4.7% and still rising? The supermarkets are really playing dirty this time. Everything else is cooling down, but they just won't budge.

4.7%? That's a joke, those people at the supermarkets are really good at putting on a show. Inflation isn't over yet, how could the asset market remain unaffected? Ordinary people in the UK really can't hold on anymore, life is becoming unbearable. Why aren't prices going down? The so-called cooling in some industries is just a facade, right? Energy, rent, and food prices are all rising together—anyone would go crazy. With this ongoing inflation signal, we need to get prepared.

4.7%? Looks like the supermarkets are playing word games again. Anyway, my wallet has already surrendered. Prices in the UK... why don't they ever go down, just like the crypto market? They just keep going up. Food inflation is unreal. Wages haven't increased but prices have—all in the name of "shared prosperity," I guess. Are the asset markets going to crash too? I better keep a close eye on my holdings. Supermarket discounts are just for kids—anyone can see what the real prices are.

Food inflation is still weighing heavily, sooner or later the asset markets will have to pay the price. --- Supermarket prices haven’t dropped again? What a joke, the numbers may look good, but what’s in people’s wallets is the real truth. --- 4.7%, if only the crypto market could rise this steadily, haha. --- Energy bills, rent, and food prices are all up—regular people really can’t hold on anymore. --- Once inflation gets in, it doesn’t come out. In the end, it’ll hit the asset markets. --- Some industries may be cooling down, but it’s useless—the supermarket shelves don’t care about any of that. --- This kind of sustained pressure will eventually be transmitted to the trading markets, just wait and see. --- They keep talking about cooling off, but prices aren’t budging—a classic routine. --- With household budgets tight, asset allocation is shrinking too—the chain reaction has begun.

Food inflation is at 4.7%. What a joke—the prices at the supermarkets here haven't gone down at all. Energy, rent, and food are all going up. Ordinary people's wallets are getting wiped out, and even the asset markets are trembling along with them. Things are really getting untenable here in the UK. Feels like something big is about to happen.
