Editor's Note

Economists expect the historically high inflation rates to begin to fall next year as pressures on global supply chains are easing. The Financial Times reports.

Key data indicators suggest that this year’s rampant global inflation has peaked and that the pace of headline price growth is set to slow in the coming months.

Factory gate prices, shipping rates, commodity prices and inflation expectations have all begun to subside from their recent record levels. These data series are widely watched by economists and policymakers as they provide an early indication of the trends that will shape the headline inflation calculation.
