1.3% Inflation Jump, Markets Don’t Care? | S3 E130 | 03-25-26
Inflation may not be making headlines today, but new data suggests underlying price pressures are quietly building.
In today’s episode of Markets with Megan, hear the latest import and export price data and why this often-overlooked inflation report could signal renewed pressure ahead, even before the full impact of the Iran conflict is felt.
📊 Topics Megan Covers:
• Import prices surged 1.3% in February, double expectations
• Largest monthly increase in import prices since 2022
• Core import prices (excluding energy) rose 1.2%
• Capital goods saw the largest monthly increase on record
• Consumer goods prices also moved higher
• Inflation signals are rising again, even before war-driven energy impacts
While markets largely ignored this report, these early inflation signals could become more important in the months ahead as higher energy prices and geopolitical tensions begin to filter through the data.
Is this just a temporary spike, or the beginning of a renewed inflation trend?
