„Vulnerable demographics of society in trouble“

Mohamed El-Erian writes in the Financial Times that it is the most vulnerable demographics of society that are feeling the pain. With an annualised inflation rate of 9.1%, America is even well above the forecast of 8.8%. This level of inflation comes as a surprise to most outsiders, as the Federal Reserve has done „everything possible“ to tame inflation by raising interest rates.

It remains to be seen whether the Federal Reserve and other central banks will succeed in keeping the general public calm. After all, inflation is starting to put more and more people in a financial squeeze. In particular, the sections of the population that were already struggling are almost out of options. It seems that the Federal Reserve has no choice but to react aggressively. The market is already 80% predicting a 1% interest rate increase for the upcoming FOMC meeting.
