Giorgio Viera | Afp | Getty ImagesU.S. port strike could cause inflationOverall, the U.S. economy has notched steady progress in lowering inflation, but in most cases price increases are only slowing — not falling outright. However, "the port strike could cause renewed goods-side inflation," she said. At the time, goods weren't hitting the shelves as quickly as consumers wanted them, which drove up prices. The U.S. port strikes could have a similar effect, "setting up a scenario reminiscent of the pandemic-era logistics crisis," Saidel-Baker said.
