CRB Commodities Index Daily Chart; Runaway Trumpflation Fueled By Tariffs, Iran War, AI and Government Spending

Trumpflation is starting to give Bidenflation a run for its money. The CRB is focused on goods inflation but services inflation is impacted as well. If you provide a service, you are driving somewhere and using fuel so you have to charge more money for your services. Supplies and other expenses also move higher.

The chart shows the path of inflation. King Donnie Trumpski was reelected in November 2024 mainly because Americans did not want Kamala the cackling communist. The lesser of two evils was the orange headed bloviating carnival clown. Inflation continues higher after the election and into early 2025 but already begins to peak and level out as Donnie takes office and Sleepy Joe Biden, that is likely suffering from Alzheimer's and dementia, is taken away to a rest home where he can eat all the pudding he wants.

The goods inflation measured by the CRB falls out of bed a year ago as Trumpski's tariff announcement occurs in April 2025. Of course, King Donnie jumps on the pullback in goods inflation proclaiming that in only two months he has solved the higher prices problem, thank you very much. Elvis was the king. Suspicious Minds. Americans, are caught in a trap, but they can't get out, we can't go on together, with suspicious minds.

The CRB consists of crude oil, heating oil, natty gas, gasoline, cocoa, coffee, corn, cotton, orange juice, soybeans, sugar, wheat, aluminum, copper, nickel, gold, silver, lean hogs and lean cattle. 

You can see that the Iran War mess sends oil, gasoline and the energy complex higher creating inflation. Way to go Donnie. You can see that the AI hype and data center euphoria needs tons of copper and silver. Tariffs raise prices across the board. Another orange head decision.

In one year, the CRB jumps from 280 to 4 hundo, a huge +43% rally. Even as you see prices rise for all your daily goods and services, the prices will continue higher. All of that huge spike is not yet priced in to the goods you buy but it will over the coming weeks. Bend over. Donnie said he does not care about American's financial situations so you are on your own. He does not care if gasoline prices are high for months to come because he proclaims that he is stopping Iran from having a nuclear bomb. If you ask the common American, they would rather have lower gasoline prices than chase around an Iranian nuclear bomb ghost in the dark. There it is! Where? Over there. No there. An orange head chases black shadows in the night.

Elvis, the real king, knew how to make the ladies swoon. Return to Sender. The club is hopping with a great music night and everyone having a good time.
