We haven't seen the worst of basic commodity price increases, plus more problems with winter approaching. The power grids in some regions of Europe will be further tested, and it won't be OK.
The global economy was showing some signs of recovery even with COVID-19 in play. What ruined it all was Putin's decision to invade Ukraine. This caused energy and gas prices to soar like crazy (especially in the EU), adding fuel to the fire. Inflation was rising during the pandemic, but now it became worse. Unless the war is stopped, don't expect inflation to ease anytime soon. Not even central banks' measures to help control inflation will do any good. People in the lower and middle classes are already suffering, while the rich are becoming richer. Who knows if we never get to see the light at the end of the tunnel? Just my thoughts
