As if the bout of inflation over the last few years wasn't painful enough for everyday investors, there are, unfortunately, plenty of good reasons to believe that the U.S. dollar is going to get significantly weaker and weaker from here on out.

Bitcoin ‘never crossed’ $100K if adjusted for inflation, says Alex Thorn

Galaxy’s Alex Thorn says Bitcoin's $126,000 peak translates to $99,848 after being adjusted for inflation, falling short of its milestone six-figure mark.
Bitcoin came just shy of hitting a milestone six figures when inflation is factored in, despite the cryptocurrency hitting an all-time peak of above $126,000 in October, says Galaxy head of research Alex Thorn.
“If you adjust the price of Bitcoin for inflation using 2020 dollars, BTC never crossed $100,000,” Thorn said on Tuesday.

Economists cast doubt on inflation report: 'Hard to take this data seriously'

How much is inflation really cooling?
Thursday’s release of November’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data showed inflation unexpectedly eased to an annual rise of 2.7% that month.

Everyone is talking about a K-shaped economy, in which lower- and middle-income households are increasingly being squeezed by a weakening job market and rebounding inflation.
The backdrop has taken a toll on consumer wallets, shifting spending from discretionary to essential purchases. It's also led to consumers rethinking where they spend their hard-earned money, with an increasing number seeking out retailers with a history of low prices, including discount chains and dollar stores.

Trump cut tariffs on beef, bananas, coffee and more — but that won't curb prices

When the Trump administration announced it was easing tariffs on a slew of agricultural products, the goal was to appease consumers who are sick of dealing with rising grocery prices.
But though the reduced tariffs could help ease the rate of inflation for foods Americans rely on, it’s unlikely that shoppers will see significant price reductions in store aisles.

A new poll found that more Americans are unhappy with President Donald Trump's stances on the economy and cost of living, with almost twice as many saying the president has helped raise prices rather than lowering them.
In a Yahoo/YouGov poll conducted Nov. 21-24, 49% of respondents said Trump's actions since taking office for his second term in January have raised prices instead of cutting them. That's a nearly two-to-one ratio to the 24% who said he's done more to lower costs.
The survey also found more Americans (38%) now blame Trump more for inflation than his predecessor, former Preside

US retail sales on Black Friday, the busiest shopping day of the year, climbed 4.1% compared with last year, according to data released Saturday by Mastercard SpendingPulse. Online shoppers alone spent $11.8 billion, up 9.1% from 2024, according to data collection platform Adobe **** ytics.
But those gains don’t account for higher prices due to inflation, so actual spending could be flat.
“We have 3% inflation, so maybe (the 4.1% increase in spending) is a real increase of just 1% or so, which is not that much of an increase,” Rick Newman, who writes The Pinpoint Press, a newsletter on the U

In recent months, more companies have announced plans to adopt bitcoin treasuries. They frame this as vision: a bold move toward the future of finance, a hedge against inflation, and a sign of corporate sophistication. On the surface, it sounds like progress.

Odds for another interest rate cut jumped Friday after New York Fed president John Williams signaled he could support a cut when the central bank meets in December.

Though he still sees room to cut, Williams said he believes tariffs have temporarily stalled progress toward the Fed’s 2% inflation goal. He estimates tariffs are contributing a half a percentage point to three-quarters of a per
