Inflation 2025 - 2029

[ishtat]

3% pa in prices since January. Stock market down a bit, Bonds strong: And none of the wonder Tariffs have hit Working and Middle class people yet. Within six months Trump will be frothing at the mouth blaming the Fed for all his economic Woes. The Fed will not reduce interest rates, to do so will encourage even greater price inflation. He is now in a race to give Corporates and the 1% a 15% tax rate and to impoverish 100 million Americans.

Every issue other than inflation will pale into insignificance as American prosperity is wrecked.

Are you expecting hyperinflation, like in Germany in the 1920s?

I've been slowly moving my investments, as I think many others are. Aiming for protection from Trump's upheaval's, but not fast enough to push into a bear market.

There is no way he can keep his promises with out major cuts to programs, or try and raise money internally through tariffs. The problem with the first, is most of his base relies on those programs. Second the tariff approach will drive up prices, kill jobs and slow growth.

Sucks to be a middle class American, the poor working class are about to get some company.
