    Damn that’s a real head scratcher all right, I wonder what could have done this. who-did-this

    Seems like we have some stagflation in store for us. I think the odds of a fed rate cut are lower than the market is expecting if inflation starts creeping back up

    Isn’t this just a result of the tariffs?

    I recall thinking back in like march that it would be 4-6 months out before we would see real impact on the economy since major manufacturers generally operate that far out. Now we’re at the point where all of the “extra” materials that could be bought ahead of tariffs has run out.

      Exactly, a lot of people were pointing out that the shock would be delayed because companies tried to stock up ahead of the tariffs. Now the stocks are starting to run dry, and buying new inventory is a lot more costly.
