Fed’s Favorite Inflation Metric Spikes in June—Tariff Chaos Fuels the Fire
Price pressures just got hotter—and Washington's trade war games aren't helping.
### The Inflation Gauge That Matters
The Fed's preferred measure just flashed red, confirming what your grocery bill already screamed: June wasn't kind to wallets. No surprises here—volatile tariffs and political posturing never make for stable pricing.
### Behind the Numbers
While the suits debate 'transitory' vs 'entrenched,' real people see shrinking purchasing power. Supply chains hate uncertainty, and new trade barriers act like gasoline on the inflation bonfire.
### The Cynic's Take
Wall Street's already spinning this as 'healthy economic growth'—because nothing says prosperity like paying 20% more for basics while your savings evaporate. Thanks, Fed.
