Trumpflation Spikes in June as tariffs show up in the data [View all]

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/inflation-accelerates-in-june-as-investors-eye-tariff-related-price-increases-123643223.html

2.7% year over year, 0.3% for the month. May was 2.4% and 0.1%. Expect more of this going forward.

Who could have thought that raising the price of everything would raise prices?

Expect the media to either completely ignore this, or in some cases pretend it's a good thing. 2.6% was the expected number.
