Let's step back: All of this is bad news for consumers, who are being hit with a quadruple-whammy of financial pain — inflation is eating into everyone's wallet; higher interest rates are making it harder to borrow money; wages are mostly flat; and 401(k)s are a shambles as the market sinks.
(Oh, and in case you missed last night's newsletter, there's a looming freight rail worker strike at the end of this week that could further strain supply chains and push prices up.)
Not to mention a border crisis, a proxy war with Russia that even if you believe Ukraine is gaining back territory, the increased energy and food costs are going to decimate Europe and adversely impact the US.
