We all know that the economic development of the United States is driven not by production but by consumer demand. Economic development relies on strong consumption and loose monetary policy. Innovation and entrepreneurship also depend on low financing costs. However, the biggest obstacle to all of this is inflation. As long as inflation remains under control, the United States will continue to experience rapid growth. Why has inflation suddenly become so severe since 2021? The reason is supply issues. The pandemic has disrupted the supply chain, and some idiot politicians have used sanctions and trade wars to artificially inflate the cost of energy and commodities (everyone understands this). So as long as these politicians continue to act foolishly and prevent the world from accessing cheap energy and commodities, can inflation in the United States return to pre-pandemic levels in the next few years? What does everyone think? If inflation is not controlled, it will be difficult for the US stock market to return to a bull market. There are significant short-term risks, and long-term investments should not be overly optimistic.
