THE FED’S STAGFLATION WARNING: TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE?
Last week, in its decision to leave interest rates unchanged, the Federal Reserve issued a warning about the impending perils of stagflation—that rare economic phenomenon characterized by a combination of rising inflation and stagnating economic growth.
Stagflation first appeared in the 1970s when the S&P 500 fell 45% in just 21 months and gold and rare coins soared to record levels.
Because the US economy contracted sharply in the 1st quarter of 2025 and trade tensions with dozens of nations are showing signs up putting upward pressure on prices, it is likely that the Fed’s warning is already too late; stagflation is probably already workings its way into the US and world economy. That’s right, the world economy, because stagflation warnings are appearing in Europe and Asia as well.
