Trump's Tariffs Causing Inflation! Is This the End of Giggity?

Giggity Giggity Tariffs are Here!

Well hot dog! Looks like things are about to get a bit…spicy if you know what I mean. And I think you do. According to those fancy pants folks over at Morgan Stanley Trump's tariffs are gonna kick inflation into high gear like Lois when she's had one too many glasses of wine. And just like when I try to impress a lady with my…skills it's probably gonna slow things down. Giggity.

The Fed's Got a Case of Blue Balls

The Federal Reserve is just sitting on their hands like me on a Saturday night with nothing but a bottle of wine and a dream. Apparently they're waiting for things to "clear up" before they make any moves on those interest rates. Giggity! Jerome Powell the head honcho over there basically said they're gonna wait and see if these tariffs are like a one night stand or something more serious. Giggity.

Inflation's Going Up Up Up!

Morgan Stanley thinks inflation is gonna climb higher than Bonnie Swanson's skirt at a biker rally. They're saying it'll hit 3.9% by the end of the year. Meanwhile economic growth is gonna crawl slower than Peter Griffin trying to understand quantum physics. Giggity giggity goo! It's like things are getting hot but not in a good way. More like a swamp cooler in July.

Stagflation? More Like Shagflation!

Oh the 'S' word. Not the one you're thinking you pervs! We're talking 'stagflation' here—high inflation slow growth. Like trying to pick up chicks at bingo night. Morgan Stanley thinks the Fed will focus on controlling inflation which means no rate cuts until March 2026. That's like being friend zoned for two whole years! Giggity...no wait maybe not.

Recession? Now That's a Party Foul!

But hey if we hit a recession things could change. Suddenly the Fed might get a little more frisky and cut those rates sooner and faster. Think of it like a sudden rainstorm at a pool party – everyone gets a little wild! Goldman Sachs is even saying there's a 45% chance of a recession. That's almost as high as my chances of finally landing a date with Jennifer Aniston. Almost. Giggity!
