Roth IRA goes up because the Baltic Shipping Index has gone back up again.

The stock market is a little bit better than January and then the appreciation of Chinese Yuan increases my the value of my Other Assets in dollars terms. But that's about it. In reality I am facing food inflation where the price has gone up all over the place. Also my proprty tax has gone up by more than $40 just when the housing market slump goes into its second year. That's like $480 per year! How can I get it down?
