It's time to think about how you're going to hedge the rising prices, because many signs are pointing to the fact that inflation is a very real threat. The dollar is at lows not seen since last year, which has made it more affordable for markets outside the United States to buy commodities denominated in U.S. dollars (especially oil). More money may be coming off the printer, which could erode the dollar. The Federal Reserve may not hike interest rates, since it would slow down the U.S. recovery efforts.
