The Real Inflation Wave is Just Beginning Prepare for July 2026

Hinzugefügt: 2026-05-31

[00:00:00]American food prices going up so fast, they're now passing laws to stop companies from controlling so much of the food and raising the supermarket prices. Restaurants hitting all-time record profits. Who's the winners? Who's the losers? Where are you going to pay more? Where are you going to pay less?

[00:00:17]Let's look at the wine, the beef, the coffee. It is all over the place. It is not stopping. This price is accelerating for everything we're going to buy and consume as food.

[00:00:37]Now, you know, there's a huge problem when the lawmakers themselves are passing legislation against the companies that gave them money through the lobbyists to get them into the halls of power.

[00:00:49]Here we go. Chuck Schumer of all people targets big meat packers with new grocery price bill in blue. Collectively, Tyson Foods, JBS, Cargle, and National Beef control 85% of the beef market and 67% of pork, 60% of chicken. This is the processing side of things. So, when it makes the supermarket, they control the prices.

[00:01:14]There's only four of them. They can set price. They can monopolize. If it was three, it'd be more obvious. They try to throw the fourth one like, "Oh, no, it's not a monopoly." Okay, this new bill, although it's going to take a while and it's passed due and it'll be too late by the time it passes or doesn't, will require major meat packers to choose between operating in beef, pork, or chicken. Like, they have to choose one. They can't dominate in all three. And all four of these companies dominate all three together.

[00:01:41]They're going to have to choose A, B, or C. Which means, well, some more companies will probably have to open up to cover that market share.

[00:01:51]And again, I would ask you about lead times with the tremendous shortages across the planet. Like how do you start a new meat packing facility with whatever whatever it is, you can't. That would take years from now. Even if they could get the electricity there now, this whole data center pulling every available watt, but you're supposed to give wattage back to a meat packing facility. I thought the whole thing don't eat beef and the whole don't eat meat thing was still rolling along like a steamroller.

[00:02:18]This just goes to show what's on paper is you're looking at three to five years out before this would take effect anyway. So, it's just somebody trying to give positive hope that something's being done about the food prices. But in actuality, you're going to have to prepare for this head-on collision.

[00:02:36]June, July, and August is when the real price rises are going to hit. If you think that you've seen prices rising so far, you really, it hasn't begun yet.

[00:02:44]The beginning of it is June, July, and August depending on where you are in the nation.

[00:02:50]And off of meeting place, love the title. Beef prices continue climbing as USDA raises 2026 forecast. Yeah, the hopefulness is well, they're now being priced in USDA raised its now forecast for beef and uh March to April from a year ago, we're almost 15% higher. spoke to a guy I know out in Texas that sells cattle, got the highest prices ever, ever for their farm. Good for them. Uh, bad for your pocketbook. But where the supply and where the demand collide, here we go. Total US consumption of beef, pork, and chicken is up in 2026, supply is down in 2026. So, we're seeing well prices go up.

[00:03:36]red line chicken and you can see that's pretty steadily increasing from the left of the chart in 2019. Just follow your eyes over to the current in the 2027 forecast here. Beef looks pretty much going to stay the same, maybe a little elevated and pork exactly the same pretty much. So you can see where the forecast is. So if you were going to try to buy something that's not going to rise in price as much, which one do you think it would be? My guess is going to stay on pork because well it's leveled and it doesn't seem like it's increasing. So the supply and demand is more balanced where beef that's up and up. So who's the winner and loser in this thing here? The CPI consumer price index select food at home items like you buy in the supermarket, come home, prepare yourself, eat it at home. Uh fresh vegetables up, coffee up, beef up, peanut butter, fish and seafood up, bread, and I'm just going down the list here.

[00:04:33]And at the very bottom here, we get into the rice and pastas. Okay, that's a good one because it hasn't gone up that much.

[00:04:37]So, you're just looking at the chart here and try to mitigate your spending or slow down your spending somehow.

[00:04:44]Here's what your financial adviser won't tell you. By the time the news tells you to buy gold, it's too late. You're waiting. I get it. Everybody's waiting.

[00:04:51]Waiting to see if the ceasefire holds.

[00:04:53]Waiting to see if the straight of moves reopens. Waiting to see what happens next. But gold isn't waiting for you. It moves on fear and instability into the unknown. And it moves faster than you can react. So while you're waiting for certainty, the rest of the world is planning for what comes next.

[00:05:09]You can wait or you can prepare. You can't do both. Remember, the best time to put on a seat belt is before the accident, not after.

[00:06:04]So, off the chart, the fastest way to slow down your spending is grow your own food because fresh vegetables are the number one thing rising in price.

[00:06:11]Grow your own. Then you could actually trade with neighbors if you have extra because everybody loves fresh veg. You could trade something. And don't think about just lettuce, you know, grow other things as well. Higher up the value chain. uh think about medicinal tees, that sort of thing. If you're going to be growing your own, flowers turn into teas or some sort of a plant can also be used as a tea. Higher up the chain you go, the more you can trade.

[00:06:40]And at the same time, somebody's always going to well bounce out in front.

[00:06:44]Cheesecake Factory, these are the companies that have the highest profit so far, 471%. So, somebody's raising their prices where everybody's complaining online about the food they're buying when they're going out or fast food just getting absurdly ridiculous. You know, $20 for somebody to eat at a fast food joint.

[00:07:04]This is the same what we're looking at here. The pricing, Wing Stop, Jack in the Box, Chipotle, Texas Roadhouse. I don't really see McDonald's on here or Taco Bell, these sort of things, but I do see Domino's. I was surprised to see that one. These are the companies that are dominating in raising their prices when you go in the store, but then that reflects right there to the shareholders and the uh amount of profits coming in. Good for some. Again, there's always going to be a winner and a loser somewhere. Now, food prices have risen more than wages overall. And if we look from 2019 to May 2024, food and beverages just continue.

[00:07:44]And you know, I'm not going to leave you hanging unless extend and continue the chart. At least in Canada, yellow line is a continuation of the food CPI up and up through 2025 into 26 and that is going nowhere but up. The Loch Ness monster shall return. Let's look at food inflation amongst the G7 countries and again I would ask you to look at the numbers and do you believe the numbers?

[00:08:10]UK 3.7% food inflation. I see just tremendous amounts of videos people complaining that the food is so so far out of reach now in Canada 3.5 in America at 3.2%. And I would ask you Americans here when you go to the supermarket have you seen your food prices go up 3.2% or have you seen them go up 10 20 50%.

[00:08:33]I would say the latter with my own eyes and Japan not reporting yet but they're having a currency crisis so maybe they're going to hold off on that.

[00:08:43]But the good news, these are the items that have decreased in price. Frozen fruits and vegetables, that's awesome.

[00:08:49]You can cook those at home. The flash freezing technologies we have today, lock in all the nutrients. That is a very good other choice than the fresh veg. If you get it frozen, choose your favorite supplier, do a little research, see which one fits your needs, and then eggs at the bottom have dropped the most, 21%.

[00:09:08]So hopefully these charts provide you a small workaround. So you can already see follow the trends on these. Whatever is going to continue up will continue up.

[00:09:17]The ones that are continuing down, they might stabilize and then reverse course up again. But for right now, the trend is down on these same items. So if you only have a limited amount of cash and you want to see how you're going to spend it or how you can spend it most efficiently, use these charts. If fresh veg is going up that much, just substitute the frozen. I know a lot of people are going to chastise me for that, but it's we're in the real world.

[00:09:42]Frozen peas are as good as fresh peas.

[00:09:45]If you're going to be cooking something, right, in a realistic fat, frozen broccoli is going to be as good as fresh broccoli. I'm telling you, the freezing technologies, these flash freeze technology they have now are outstanding because moving forward, uh, you're going to be preparing foods at home more with these restaurant prices just skyrocketing to the point of unaffordability. Even this fast food, uh, we're being pushed to cook at home again, very much like we were in 2022.

[00:10:12]Restaurants closed, people had to change their lifestyles. Well, this is doing it now because of price, not because of forced mandates. Same, same, but different as I've heard it said before.

[00:10:24]Jumping over to some Brazilian coffee farms. Wonderful. Beautiful.

[00:10:29]Electric geology in front of you. Let's look at coffee futures dropping now. All the forecasts are Brazil is going to have this like incredible record harvest because they've had so much rain. So with the rains being plentiful, coffee is going to be plentiful this year. So that will drop. Most forecasts are showing below 250. So sub 250 on that. Coffee prices should come down. Now again, how long will it be before that reflects in the supermarket? Probably not because it'll just say there was a supply chain disruption, the backup, this, that, and the other. Six months from now, we might see three cents off or whatever. Let's go over to the wine vineyards.

[00:11:10]California, what's happening here? And I can't believe the titles. California's crippled wine industry hitting rock bottom. So this is just another validation that something's very very wrong with everything food and beverage wise including production levels. So the prices are dropping in real estate faster than the appraisers can get out to reappraise an estate.

[00:11:36]You that's kind of unthinkable where these types of estates would have somebody on call that could come out literally within one to three days give you an assessment. These are multi-million dollar properties. It's not like you selling, you know, your $300,000, $400,000 house, half million dollar house.

[00:11:53]$30 million for this. Somebody's on call. I'm taking a commission. They're going to appraise it. Let's get it on.

[00:11:59]They can't even get them out there. That is how fast the prices are changing downward.

[00:12:05]So what's happening is they're getting margin called basically where troubled sales as in these vineyards that have dropped in price so fast against what their loans are can't produce enough income and they're being pressured. You see that equipment in the background there? Yeah, they're starting to sell that off to pay their debts. It literally is a fire sale. Very low prices. We think it'll stabilize, but not this year. So they're already telling you in earnest these very large money players across the vineyards in California like that's big money buying these properties and selling them that it's not going away this year. You know we got a lot more months left in this year and then if it rolls into 2027 and here's the big kicker on this one.

[00:12:49]They believe the industry will be about a third smaller than it was when it was at its apex last year. a third smaller.

[00:13:00]You know, these are like trophy properties. And for this to be said here, there's something terribly wrong.

[00:13:06]I mean, terribly wrong that these types of properties are going to go that far underwater that it's it's a fire sale and everything. As you see these slides here, I'm going to try to dig in a little more because this is the biggest canary in the coal mine for the rest of the markets. like regular housing markets, you know, in city A, B or C, okay? It's it own metric. When you're coming to these massive estates, this is a huge huge red flag on something in the real estate market. If this goes first, it's going to drag everything else down with it. And uh this is the again, you know, look at this as the first set of dominoes to fall. If they're talking into 2027, then that means the regular real estate, mom and pop real estate is going to fall behind this. probably won't clean up until 28 or 29.
