I own a couple of retail businesses. Through Covid I saw supply chain problems move pricing on the retail side. Now, I'm seeing wholesale prices change week to week on products with little past fluctuation. Some of this can be attributed to unusually high demand for freight as economies re-emerge, and tight labor markets. I fear that these reasons however, are hiding immediate inflation problems being signaled in commodities and by a parabolic monetary supply. What happens when prices increase 30% after existing inventory is depleted?
