What the Media Won't Tell You About Inflation
Manage episode 378075357 series 1521440
Last June, inflation hit a 40-year high of 9.1%.
Since then, it’s been falling month over month, hitting 3.2% in July of this year.
The Fed’s aggressive rate hikes seemed to be doing their job, and their 2% inflation target appeared to be in sight.
But then, the August CPI report came out a few weeks ago...
...and we saw inflation spike, jumping up to 3.7%.
What happened? Where does inflation go from here? And should we be worried about this recent uptick?
