Things cost more money now. Gas and food are more expensive. This is because it is hard to move oil and goods across the sea. The central bank does not want to lower interest rates. They want to stop prices from rising. A new leader, Kevin Warsh, is now in charge of the bank. Some companies make a lot of money. These are AI and computer chip companies. But other things, like houses, are more expensive to buy because loans cost more. Other countries have problems too. Prices are high in Germany and France. Leaders from the US and China are talking to help the world markets.
