- Goods price inflation has already falllen sharply, and a further steep decline is not expected
- Inflation targets are within reach, and central banks signal that rate cuts will soon be forthcoming
- Dovish tilt by central banks reduces recession risk, but it remains critical that focus on inflation is maintained
