This morning’s inflation report from US Bureau of Labour Statistics showed consumer prices rose 3.7 % from a year ago.

Since Trump returned to office, Americans have experienced zero wage growth, in real terms, because wage growth has failed to outpace inflation

According to the Federal Reserve Cleveland, inflation expectations over a 1-year horizon are 2.98% y/y, above the Fed's target of 2%. Looking out further, longer-term expectations move closer to 2%. #econsky

2018: Inflation is a domestic demand-side variable under central bank control.

2022: There may be a global supply-side element to it.

2026: The pre-Midterm US CPI target rate of the IRGC, Houthi, and Ukrainian bombing campaigns against fossil fuel infrastructure across Eurasia is 4%.
