The Commodity Rebate

People ignore the fact companies benefit from falling commodities too, making products cost lower and final products cheaper, so it's benefiting the consumer too. Of course, right now they have included in cost the higher commodities price from summer, but this will change soon.
Companies seen themselves in the situation of very high material and transport costs, not a very good market, so they tried to lower where it could, from salaries.
As a fact unemployment started to rise fast.
I expect better times in the spring-summer of 2009.
