February War Room: Inflation and Energy
The February HiddenLevers War Room will analyze how rising inflation, now at 7.5% CPI, is impacting U.S. consumers amid increased driving and shopping despite stable energy prices, while exploring whether the Federal Reserve can address inflation and how Russia's actions might influence the Fed's decisions.
The perilous change in market tone is being felt in many asset classes due to inflation – but not energy. Two years after negative crude oil prices, Americans are driving (and shopping) more than expected. Prices are definitely on the rise with CPI now at 7.5%.
- How does it affect U.S. consumers?
- Can the Fed fix it?
- Will Russia change the Fed's course?
Join us as we refresh our Inflation scenario in the next HiddenLevers War Room.
