This week, we focused on inflation. On April 27, during its first-ever press conference, the Federal Reserve announced that inflation will climb more than expected this year.
But at the heart of rising prices are two things that the government doesn't normally include in inflation reports: food and fuel.
These two areas have seen prices at such high levels that we are starting to see lower demand. Oil supplies jumped by 3.8 million barrels last week, and gasoline supplies jumped 1.3 million barrels. No surprise that oil prices have dropped so much this week, huh?
But the opposite is happening with food prices. Demand is not dropping, and some experts are predicting shortages.
This could be the start of a major food crisis. We've already seen uprisings in some parts of the world. Things could get much worse.
That's why we chose to focus on inflation and food prices here at Smart Investing Daily. Here's what we told you...
