The recent surge in egg prices, primarily due to an avian flu outbreak, has raised concerns about inflation perceptions among consumers. With egg prices increasing dramatically—by 53% over a year and a projected 20.3% rise this year—the Fed may face challenges as consumer inflation expectations rise. As prices of essential goods continue to climb, there is a risk of consumers anticipating broader inflation, complicating the Fed’s monetary policy approach in maintaining economic stability.
