14. What's Going on with Inflation? (Inflation Explained)

Market MakeHer Podcast

Let's talk about the inflation situation. What is inflation? What causes inflation? And why we invest in the stock market (hint hint: to outpace inflation).

Is Inflation Going Down?

Inflation was 8.9% in the summer of 2022, and even though it's currently around 3.7% as of September 2023, we are still feeling the lag effects. The memes talking about the struggles a lot of us are facing are plentiful! There's definitely a trickle effect happening.

Different Theories and Measurements

We talk about CPI, PPI, Cost Push Theory, Demand Pull Theory, Built In Inflation and the Fed. We also talk about all the factors that led to our current inflation situation and where we see it going.

Let us know your thoughts or questions around what inflation is and how it affects the stock market and don't forget to check out the episode equity on the Ep. 15 page of www.marketmakeherpodcast.com
