Oil prices aren't inflationary, they're disinflationary. We are getting more proof right now as incoming data shows demand being destroyed. This is creating difficulties for the US economy on top of severe strain around the rest of the world.

Oil Prices Are CRUSHING The Economy (What You Need To Know)

The Fed's latest semi-annual report on financial risks contains a couple of important updates. First, we get a sense of where the systemic attempt to deal with the downside to the commercial real estate bubble stands.

BREAKING: Fed’s Financial Stability Report Just Dropped (What You Need To Know)

There is a tendency to conflate the behavior of consumer prices with the condition of the economy. With the current mania over recent CPIs in full bloom, fears extend into the real economy. Is it really "too hot?"

100% Proof Rate Hikes DON'T Work

It's the story no one really knows and what actually ties the current day with the past Great Inflation.  Eurodollar University's Money & Macro Analysis CSPAN William Proxmire
