Inflation is Unstoppable



Larry Edelson takes a closer look at inflation and the five forces that are causing commodity prices to soar. Mr. Edelson discusses how unstoppable global demand has become.

Almost all the commodities Edelson follows are inflating. Inflation is already happening and prices are rising from five basic forces. There will be no stopping the soaring demand from 3 billion new consumers from India, Russia, China, and the rest of Asia as they emerge into the 21st century. There will be price pullbacks, naturally, but there is no stopping the needs, wants and desires of 3 billion people, nearly half the world's population.

It now takes nearly $138 to buy a barrel of oil. People everywhere are experiencing record high energy prices that are set to move even higher. Oil and petrochemicals are major components of virtually everything manufactured. So when their price rises, it drives up costs in just about every industry in the world. Rising oil prices are inflationary, driving the prices of just about everything much higher. But a reduction in oil and energy prices doesn't correlate to relief in overall price levels. Any pullback in energy costs is likely to only be temporary and not enough to offset growing demand.

All this demand is occurring at a time when Washington wants a weaker dollar to try and chip away at the mountain of bad debts in the U.S. economy.

The combination of soaring demand from 3 billion new consumers on the world stage, record-high oil prices and a plunging U.S. dollar has never happened before and are the most powerful, inflationary forces ever seen in the history of this planet. A buildup of all the previous forces, the Earth is caving in under the weight of the demand, and as a result, supplies of most natural resources are running short.

Edelson previously wrote about how Washington's manipulation of the CPI would eventually backfire and cause the public to wake up to inflation, setting off a cycle of buying now in anticipation of yet higher prices to come, pushing inflation still higher.

"The bottom line is that inflation is already here, it's going to move substantially higher in the months ahead, and the government's CPI won't pick up more than a small fraction of the rise," Edelson states.
