> Which doesn’t explain why other countries, where the government didn’t dump a shitload of cash, are seeing even higher price increases than the U.S. Wheat is a global commodity, and the Chicago price is what the world works off of. > but the dollar is historically strong at the moment. As compared to what? It is historically weak compared to wheat, but presumably you mean compared to other currencies? Global transactions largely take place in USD, oil in particular, and the increase in monetary supply ended up in the hands of Americans first, so they have more of it to spend while the rest of the world does not, leaving those holding other currencies trying to buy up more USD all while Americans are trying to hold onto it over inflation fears.
