IT’S CRACKING: THE REAL REASON PRICES STAY HIGH
from Wall Street Truthbombs Podcast · host Wall Street Truthbombs
While world leaders flexed in Davos, markets quietly did something far more important—they ripped higher on real data.This week’s inflation panic misses the point. GDP revisions were backward-looking noise. The real signal came from consumption, PCE inflation, and what isn’t accelerating beneath the surface.Yes, prices are high. No, inflation isn’t running away. And no—higher interest rates won’t magically rewind prices to 2019 without breaking the economy in the process.This episode breaks down:• Why consumption still matters more than headlines• What PCE inflation is actually saying• Why tariffs aren’t the inflation villain everyone claims• The uncomfortable limits of monetary policy• And why policy hesitation—not inflation—is the real risk aheadTruthbomb: The only guaranteed way to force prices down is a recession no one actually wants.Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@wstruthbombs?sub_confirmation=1Substack: https://substack.com/@wstruthbombsX: https://x.com/WSTruthBombsPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/wstruthbombsBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/wstruthbombs.bsky.socialTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wstruthbombsSupport the show
