Although it needs to be said that inflation is currently above the 2% threshold the FED targets I might add. I don't think inflation is that hidden actually. It just hasn't reached a level of concern and the hope is that it is only temporary in any case.

My opinion is this.
Inflation is happening already. It's all happening in the housing market, which doesn't get counted in the CPI. It's basically "hidden" from the traditional inflation metric which only looks at consumer goods (TVs, Shampoo, food).
