Impact of Inflation on the Economy

The podcast discusses the current state of inflation and its impact on the economy. Despite some inflationary pressure, the real economic activity remains strong. Retail sales are above expectations, PMI reports are positive, and initial jobless claims remain low. Oil prices have risen, which affects trade on international markets. The focus should be on the strength of the real economy, as it has a more significant impact on earnings and investment decisions than the potential actions of the Federal Reserve regarding interest rates.
