June saw a drop in inflation mainly due to falling gasoline and electricity prices, but this trend reversed in July as oil prices jumped nearly 20%. This rise signals that inflation pressures remain strong, driven by long-term factors like deglobalization, demographics, and policy impacts. As a result, inflation has not peaked, and the Federal Reserve is expected to maintain a hawkish stance, which adds pressure on the stock market already wary of an AI bubble burst.
