Prices continue to rise. Always higher than expected... inflation isn't coming down, but has bottomed, but Fed doesn't want to hear about it and pretend everything is fine because the notion of Fed hiking rates again would mean that the Fed screwed up again and don't want to admit that. It'd be better that Fed admits they were wrong (again) when they started cutting rates and start hiking rates, up the purschasing power of the USD. Will the Fed do it? Definitely not. They'll keep holding rates steady until the bond market has had enough and yields skyrocket.

If they wait until more tariffs are introduced they can blame all the inflation on the tariffs...

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if investors only had to be concerned with the markets without interference from third party manipulators like the FRB and the FOMC. We’ve gotten rid of the Central Bank a couple of times since its inception… way past time to do so again. Wishful thinking I know.
