Gold tends to respond to monetary policy and investor sentiment while food inflation reflects climate events energy prices and supply chain shocks so their paths diverge most of the time"

To put it in perspective: in 2012 Hostess (then Interstate Bakeries) laid off about 18500 workers during its liquidation. So this Nestl cut is possibly the second-largest in the sector (outside bankruptcies) and it signals how even food manufacturing giants are under intense pressure. #Nestle #Layoffs #FoodIndustry"
