Beyond energy and tariffs, there are hidden price hikes; the inflation card hasn't been fully played yet.

CoinWorld News: The Federal Reserve meeting minutes show that staff believe there is high uncertainty, and that inflation may last longer than expected. Given the Middle East conflict and the potential economic consequences of artificial intelligence applications, staff still believe there is high uncertainty in the forecasts. Overall, the risks to employment and real GDP growth forecasts are considered skewed downward, while the risks to inflation forecasts are considered skewed upward. Over the past five years, inflation rates have consistently been well above 2%, and the Middle East conflict could lead to further inflation increases, with some categories that seem unrelated to tariffs or energy prices also experiencing upward price pressures. Therefore, staff believe that the duration of inflation may be longer than expected, which is a significant risk.
