Kitco News, Released on 8/11/21
July’s consumer price index (CPI) data was released Wednesday, with headline CPI coming in at 5.4%, the same reading as June’s. Todd Horwitz, chief market strategist at BubbaTrading.com, said that this is not the peak. “I think it’s going to get a lot higher. I think we’re in a lot of trouble because of the policies of the Administration that’s in power and of course, the Federal Reserve,” Horwitz told David Lin, anchor for Kitco News.
