Prices Stay High as Economy Slows | Washington DC News

Prices aren’t cooling down fast enough — supply chains and global chaos keep everyday costs high, even as gas dips. Experts say 2% inflation? Forget it until 2028. Consumers are shifting to needs over wants, cutting back on luxuries. CEO confidence? Plummeting — executives see more gloom ahead, especially in energy, fertilizer, and aluminum sectors, which pass costs straight to you. Some companies are cutting staff, especially in tech, finance, and retail — automation’s bite is real. But don’t panic: no full-blown crash expected in six months. Watch jobless claims — if those climb sharply, that’s when the real trouble starts.
