🤓 Inside Scoop...

The Federal Reserve, aka the Central Bank, controls the flow of money. When the economy needs juice, it creates more money and lowers interest rates to incentivize more lending and spending. When inflation gets too high, that means there's too much lending and spending for the given available resources. The Fed then raises interest rates and starts to shut down all the supportive stimulus measures. It's a natural part of the economic cycle. Still, there's a risk that inflation spikes because of some kind of disruption (like sanctions against Russia), and not because of the economy recovering. Then, investors worry that the Fed will have to restrict the economy before it actually recovers.
