## Resource

Inflation just hit its highest level in three years, fueled mostly by soaring gas prices that’ve nudged everything else higher. The Federal Reserve is pivoting—after hinting at rate cuts, they’re now rumored to raise rates instead. Gas, now hovering near $4.50, isn’t just hurting drivers—it’s cranking up shipping costs and pushing grocery bills higher. While food and energy are the biggest drivers, core inflation is still climbing across the board: clothes, flights, electricity—all getting pricier. Tariffs and global oil shocks are adding fuel to the fire, making this a complex, unfolding economic storm. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
