Isn't all inflation exponential?

  Mathematically, yes. (More-or-less.) Commodity price fluctuations usually are not. But "rising exponentially" seems to have become a way to say "going up very fast, and you should get excited about it!".

    It is compound growth (because we dont really allow deflation for various social and economic reasons) therefore it grows exponentially
