More hyper-inflation will ensue.
Rising oil prices challenge Fed’s inflation and growth strategy
The Federal Reserve is grappling with the challenge of rising oil prices as it attempts to guide the economy towards a seldom-seen soft landing. The surge in energy costs, driven by supply cutbacks from Saudi Arabia and Russia, has seen oil prices jump nearly 30% since June, with U.S. crude surpassing $91 a barrel. This increase poses risks as the Fed aims to bring inflation back to its 2% target without sparking an economic downturn.
In other words, Biden’s inflation reduction policies have FAILED MISERABLY!
