My thought about inflation is similar to yours (I believe): Even if inflation cools, all that means is that the rate of price increase (year over year comparison) slows but prices remain high.  Just like at the gas pump, prices are quick to rise when circumstances dictate, but are slow to come down.  Cost of living has ratcheted up and will likely remain high for some time.  How stocks react to that scenario I don't know.
