Summary
The Federal Reserve faces a stagflation scenario as the US economy added only 57,000 jobs in June — far below expectations — while inflation has accelerated above 4%. Nigel Green, CEO of deVere Group, warns this combination of weak employment and rising prices represents the Fed's worst-case nightmare. April and May payrolls were also revised sharply lower, and average monthly job growth over the past year has slowed to just 36,000.
