UMich Consumer Sentiment unexpectedly plunged to 66.8 in Nov., its lowest level in 11 years, as #inflation took a heavy toll on confidence. Consumers expect prices to rise by 4.9% over the next year, and by 2.9% per year over the next five, almost twice the Fed's supposed target.

Funny how #coffee prices spike just before the US #dollar rises and drives prices right back to even lower lows… I ponder while drinking my 1-year stash of K cups bought 6 months ago. ☕ https://t.co/jWHaSl9mzG

Analyst: Inflation Crisis One of the ‘Worst’ in Modern History
The managing director of a retail consultant firm said the soaring inflation crisis is one of the “worst” in modern history because it escalated quickly.
Strategic Resource Group managing director Burt Flickinger told Fox Business on Thursday that the current inflation crisis “was not a crisis 12 months ago.”
“This is the biggest emerging economic crisis for consumers for over a decade,” Flickinger said. “The average cost of living for a family of four is up about $5,000 a year so now it’s a choice between heating homes, feeding families, or giving gifts.”
