2 Question Tuesday® – 08/12/2025 – Why Is Inflation Rising Less than Expected, as Wall Street Expects Stagflation? Why Is the Market Ignoring Tariff News and Continuing to Rise?

Welcome to 2 Question Tuesday®. This week’s questions were:

  1. Why is inflation rising less than expected as Wall Street expects stagflation?
  2. Why is the market ignoring tariff news and continuing to rise?

Phil, Mike, and Larry talk about how Wall Street strategists think the U.S. economy is moving toward stagflation while the consumer price index rose less than expected last month despite the tariffs. They then discuss why the market is ignoring the tariff news and continuing to rise.
