April fed meeting is the next leg down 📉
OECD projects 4.2%, a sharp increase from the 2.7-2.8% projected before the war.
With a softening job market where Powell said “the last 6 months we’ve seen essentially net 0 jobs increase” and Polymarket giving the chance of a rate hike in 2026 at 25% odds, it is fair to say stagflation is here.
Out of control inflation against a softening jobs market creates a position of save the economy or save the working class where the lesser of the two evils is to jack up rates and temporarily let the working class absorb large layoffs.

No shit. They been cooking these numbers
Man it’s almost like the guy in charge has no fucking clue what he’s doing
Stagflation setup hiding in plain sight.
Textbook stagflation
Meanwhile trump supporters will find blame on everyone else for inflation , rather than assessing their cult leader
I think anyone with eyes on the current situation is seeing as this rubber band of fake bullshit and suppressed data keeps getting more and more stretched, this impending disaster has been building even before Hormuz and is about to snap back on us hard in ways I’m not sure any of us can really grasp at this point.
Lol it’s going to be way higher than that. If you annual the producer price increase from February, before the war even started, you are looking at 8.4% inflation.
Well deserved
