We get articles on HN about once a week arguing that massive inflation is coming soon. I think all of these articles are misguided. With such low interest rates, the Fed can and will raise those rates to prevent inflation.

That interest rate rise will likely pop the bubble.




Prices are on the rise throughout the economy, so I'm starting to think the inflation has arrived.


Covid has disrupted many things in the economy. That alone means some prices will go up. But it might be temporary.


And the Fed is starting to walk back their prediction that an interest rate rise before 2023 is unlikely.
