Wholesale prices rose sharply in February, providing another sign that inflation continues to percolate even aside from rising energy costs.Goods prices rose 1.1% on the month.Food prices rose 2.4% while energy was up 2.3%. Within food, the index for fresh and dry vegetables soared 48.9%.The report suggests that pipeline inflation pressures remain persistent, particularly on the services side, complicating the Fed’s path as it weighs how long to keep interest rates elevated.The report comes with inflation worries accelerating amid the fighting in the Middle East. The U.S. and Israel continue to strike at targets in Iran, causing energy prices to surge. Oil has been trading around $100 a barrel, up more than 70% year to date as the conflict has proceeded.None of the inflation data so far has captured the price increases associated with the war. But it has indicated that even before the attacks, inflation was a problem. A report last week indicated that consumer prices rose at a 2.4% rate in February. Separately, the Commerce Department said its main inflation gauge, which the Fed uses as its forecasting tool, was at 3.1% for core and 2.8% for headline.The increase combined with recent anemic jib data is renewing concerns of stagflation. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/17/stock-market-today-live-updates.html

>>1498521Nothing to say about the actual content? Just going to bitch about the graphic?Lol
>>1498533> Nothing to say about the actual content? Just going to bitch about the graphic?LolHe's just mad we invented a totally new buzzword (stagflation) back in 1965 to make it sound like Trumps economy is a disaster like all the economic reports say it is.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagflation#Etymology
Smart people shorted the economy, just as they did in '08. Trump bragged about making money the last time, and now he can exercise some control over his investments.
>>1498538This. Cry about it all you like, libtards. The rest of us are riding the gravy train.
>>1498535Another gift from Trickle Down Economics.
>>1498521Boomer culture in a nutshell: make everything horrible, then complain about it using cringe memes. Just let grandpa do his thing, he doesn't have much time left and his grandkids don't call.
>>1498538Rich smart people.Most people live paycheck to paycheck and will just suffer the increasing costs as usual.
>>1498547Leeches bragging about literally providing nothing to society isn't anything newIts part of the reason why they're so fixated on fake immigration fraud, it stops MAGA retards from turning on them
wah wah i don't own any stock or rental property so anyone who does is a leech waaaah
>>1498548My Grandfather came to America in one of the first ships, and is buried in this country. One of my ancestors is on American currency. We've gotten rid of SNAP fraud. We're getting rid of foreign fraud in MN. And after that we'll start killing off all the rich leeches adding nothing to America to free things up for Real Americans
>>1498554nice larp you will never be american, esl shill
>>1498548Feds are leaving rates unchanged. Hello stagflation. It'll really start heating up now that Iran and Israel are clobbering each others oil fields. $7 a gallon gas here we come!
>>1498538all the cucks complaining about gas have me rolling. should have bought electric guess it's not so funny to pollute now is it
>>1498520>veggies up 49%>fruit up 10% >in just one month>rent keeps going up>utilities keep going up due to AI>oil might be $4 per gallon soonHoly shit. How am I going to survive?
>>1498572Billionaires are making more money than ever, which is the reason why Trump was elected.
Drumpf btfo AGAINThe economy is literally imploding lmao https://files.catbox.moe/70d9y8.png
>>1498572Trump winning has been the greatest happening in my lifetime. So much trolled libcuck tears. I am addicted LMAO.
>>1498580You'll be out on the streets roasting rats with the rest of us.
>>1498581Worth it. my life is already dogshit. parents dead, deadass job, live in a coffin, no gf. It can't get much worse. the only thing that keeps me from anheroing is seeing yours get ruined. that is why I voted for Trump.
>>1498572I can't even make cabbage soup because of the cabbage shortages. Everyone born after 1985 is absolutely fucked.
>>1498585>cabbage shortageLucky you with the shortagewe just get pictures of cabbages on recycled paper
>>1498575Trump was elected to troll the left and fuck immigrants. He's arguably been an extremely successful president by those metrics.
All the dooming from the media is driving up prices. This is a difficult time, but it will pass. What is important is to rally around the president. We must not divide ourselves, we must be of one mind and one leader. Think not about yourself but think about your country. Your sacrifice will ensure that our children have a future.
>>1498589Precisely. We're looking at this situation with the eyes of adults, when we should be looking at this with they eyes of children.Trump is behind us 100%, filling us up, and thrusting us ever upwards towards a climax that all Americans deserve.
>>1498585Start your own vegetable garden it’s a good time of year for planting
>>1498521But enough about those who worship an orange boomer
>>1498588No that's HOW he was elected, by convincing gullible morons like you that he's on your side. That's very different than WHY he ran for President again, which was to keep himself out of prison and to enrich his family and friends.
>>1498619u sound mad tell me more
>>1498621Just stating facts. You tend to imagine some kind of emotional inflection where there is none because of your indoctrination.
>>1498623im SURE it's just my imagination and you're having a great time living under Trump. if you like Trump 2024 you're going to love Trump 2028!
>>1498624If you aren't weeping over the death of America at Trump's behest then you aren't a patriotic American, but we already knew you lived in St. Petersburg and post here for your weekly vodka ration.
>>1498625>behestesl shill outs itself once again lmao that's not how you use that wordoops all esl
>The Dow Industrials fell below its 200-day moving average for the first time since June 2025. The indicator shows whether the long-term trend in an asset or index is positive or negative.>Investors will watch what happens next for the index, as a close below the 200DMA would be the first for the Dow since June 20, 2025. If traders do not step in as they have in the past, that suggests the index could drop further.ITS CRASHING AND BURNDING DRUMPF JUST U DID A YEAR OF PROGRIS
>>1498627How the fuck would a vatnik like you know?
>>1498629We are in a kangaroo market
>>1498634you're projecting again esl shill
sorry guys, i made fun of esl shill too much and now he's a broken record. my fault
>>1498641What does that even mean>We are in a kangaroo market>you are just projecting???Do you think you are talking to the stock market? That I am projecting my own shortcomings as a market onto another market?
>>1498644esl shill strikes out again no rupee today his family will starve
>>1498648Projecting
>>1498629>STOP MAKING DECISIONS THAT WILL BENEFIT IN THE LONG TERM! I NEED GRATIFICATION RIGHT NOW!God I love watching libturds seethe. All of you sound like you post pictures of your gay assholes on Grinder.And it's still cheaper than when Biden was in office. >Biden = 9% inflation>Trump = 2% inflationYou Biden cultists will never swallow the fact that Trump is 100x the president that Biden was.
>>1498661The jokes on you, grindr doesn't allow nude pictures you have no idea what you're talking about.
>>1498648Yup this is a shill for hire and not a very good one. Probably the same one who thought "stagflation" was a brand new buzzword
esl shill is projecting again
>>1498661>Hah, you're so gay I bet you're on that hookup app I never stop thinking about. Silly faggot. I should fuck you in the ass, that'll show everyone how not-gay I am.Why don't you contribute to the LGBT suicide rate?
>>1498661>>STOP MAKING DECISIONS THAT WILL BENEFIT IN THE LONG TERM! I NEED GRATIFICATION RIGHT NOW!This is why Trump needs to postpone elections. Americans are too stupid and shortsighted to take their medicine. Trump is fixing things after years of democrat sabotage. We just need to trust the plan and stay the course. Trust in Trump.
>>1498685you're projecting again, esl shill
>>1498678you will never be a woman, esl shill
>>1498661>STOP MAKING DECISIONS THAT WILL BENEFIT IN THE LONG TERM!Just 2 more weeks bro :)>And it's still cheaper than when Biden was in office. lol nope
>>1498699no one believes your lies, esl shill
>>1498661>wiping out a year of progress is good for the long term
>>1498661So much seethe from posting facts. Good on you anon
>>1498725>wiping out a year of progress is good for the long termRefresh my memory, was it good when it was down from dec 2021 to dec 2023, because team blue was in charge?
>>1498728No, Trump was elected bacause the Biden did so poorly at the economy, and now he is doing the exact same thing
>>1498733Worse really. Biden tip toed so as to not mess up the economic recovery. Trump went at it with a sledgehammer and zero regard for anyone else. In fact the only people making fortunes off this "golden age" seems to be those closest to Trump (Kushner, Barron, Trump, his fam, etc.)
>>1498727Seething is all they've got. The facts are obvious, Trump is destroying the economy while his family makes trillions
>>1498773you will live the rest of your life in a world ruled by america, esl shill
>>1498776I'm an American
>>1498776dont sign your own posts man
>>1498520I heard somewhere that something like 75-80% of consumer spending is by the top 10-15% of income earners. If that’s true then inflation will hardly affect the majority of consumer spending, gazillionares don’t have to care about the price of bread. So the economy will continue but the vast majority of people will not be able to afford anything beyond basic necessities, which is dangerous in an egalitarian democracy but nothing really to worry about in a despotic society
>>1498800It is something to worry about when everyone has guns. This can only end in blood which seems to be what he wants
>>1498819If people have enough to eat, a roof over their heads, and aren’t worried about being robbed or killed or accessing healthcare and they’re free to practise their religion then the government should not worry
>>1498821I think you will find Americans will be pretty upset about their standards of living decreasing measurably in such a short period of time, but I hope you're right
>>1498800It's 50%. 50% of all spending is by the top 10%, implying that most people have been in a recession for years, even though the economic numbers looked okay. Hell, the only reason economic numbers don't look apocalyptic right now is because of the AI bubble. I remember one of the Trump officials even stating that consumers are going to basically be fucked, but the economy (stocks) will still be doing decent on CNBC a week ago, because the /biz/ casino is all we really care about in America.
>>1498824Americans only care about it under democrat presidents.
>>1498533There is no actual content. You are a bitch
>>1498819I’ll believe it when I see it. Americans are disorganized, complacent, and lazy. If our government felt at all threatened by our guns then we wouldn’t have them.
>>1498831Kind of agree here. In my country if ICE had killed two protesters and the authorities done nothing about it there would’ve been some well organized violent insurrection, not necessarily to take over the government but definitely for revenge. The US government did nothing just swept it under the carpet and even told the ICE agents they have total immunity. America is a weird place
>>1498829How dare you I work really really hard on these graphics for you ungrateful peasants
>>1498829Trump just threatened to attack Irans gas fields again. Prices going up!
>>1498863Woohoo free money! This war just made Q1 a straight pulse-check. If you're not in the black you might as well be dead and leave your assets to someone who knows what they're doing. It's so easy to make money with trump
>>1498869What?
>>1498879You had plenty of time to invest in oil futures, the buildup was obvious for so many reasons. If you didn't, you need someone else managing your money bc you're braindeadWhich part don't you get
>>1498884larping as a non-broke non-shill today?
>>1498520Bu-but I thought the DOW was over 50000.
>>1498843I believe you. I hear about other countries not putting up with shit like this and sigh wistfully. There are some legit reasons that doesn't happen here, biggest being that the US is fucking huge and most people can't exactly just go to the White House and start shit like it ain't no thing, but it's still mostly laziness.
>>1498800even a 5% drop is significant for retail, where the margins are razor thin
>>1498999Thats why theres a record high number of bankruptcies in the last year. Its above 2008 levels already.
>>1498885youre projecting again, esl shill>>1498988>Ain't no th
>>1498891Was over 50k
>>1498661It's funny how I hear more about Biden during this administration than I did during Biden's actual term.
>>1498572Maybe take one less trip to Stabucks per week, lol. Try to be a patriot for once.
>>1499083>Try to be a patriot for once.You mean like you? All you /pol/tards are cut from the same cloth. You despise this country because the "wrong" half won the Civil War, and it fought on the "wrong" side during WW2, and now it's a degenerate shithole of brown trannies keeping you from getting a job and wetting your dick.
>>1499087>leftist scolding me for hating this countryYou people are the ones cheering for our enemies. Leftist have always hated the America.
Hooowwe! Trump letting it rip now boys. It about to be a good ol country hootenanny in this economy.
