Unexpectedly?
Even the Spanish Inquisition was blindsided by this.
This is the top comment on my screen and it’s perfect.
That article is carrying a lot of water for the Trump administration. Nobody knows why prices are going up!
Shocked pikachu face
The only thing unexpected here is the bad headline. Simply using the first sentence would be more accurate and meaningful
Unexpectedly?
I know I’ve seen this on several websites today. What was everyone expecting? The only think I can think of is the old trope that Republican administrations are better for the economy. I have coworkers who were basically expecting miracles once Trump got into office. Things are probably gonna be bad.
There’s nothing unexpected about it. Have they not been paying fucking attention to what the Orange Jackass had been doing to is?
It’s probably the BBC’s attempt not to get sued ;)
Before reacting, read the article
Inflation rose to 3% in January, its highest rate for six months, and above the 2.9% expected by economists.
This is significant for bankers, but not for regular people. You’re not going to notice that inflation is 0.1% higher than expected
“unexpectedly” is a word they use but I am not sure they know what it means.
Republicans just took power.
Not unexpected at all.
Just snuck up on everyone without warning! 🫣
I wouldnt be surprised if foreign investors in US Bonds were dropping that shit like it was radioactive.
Unexpectedly?
Yiyre kidding, right? I was quite literally waiting for this news. It never wss an if, just how bad
Unexpectedly??? WT actual F???
Unexpectedly? By who?
Pretty sure tons of people said that if Trump takes office, inflation would skyrocket thanks to the tarrifs and all his other bullshit… This was entirely expected. It’s the result we all knew was coming if he took office.
If it were any Democrat in office right now, the media would have been pinning the blame harder than fighting games got blamed for violence in the 90s. Getting real sick of the narrative they’re spinning.

If a Democrat were in office inflation wouldn’t have increased.

It’s January numbers, a month Biden was in office the majority of.
