The salient point is not whether #inflation has peaked (it hasn't), but the unpleasant reality that inflation will not return to levels anywhere near 2% during the foreseeable future. This is the game changer for the #Fed. Most investors have no clue how to play by the new rules.

- If one month of a lower than expected #CPI is good news, why is the dollar tanking and #gold up $30? The reason is that a lower CPI gives the #Fed an excuse to ease up on its #inflation fight. That means even higher future inflation, which is bad for the dollar and good for gold. – Peter Schiff

In fact, the rate of inflation has outpaced the wages of Americans a record 20 months in a row.
