The Inflation Story That Never Left in 2025
While 2025 was full of trending headlines, inflation remained the year’s most consistently searched topic — not because it spiked, but because it never dropped off.
Here’s why it dominated:
- Persistent Impact: Unlike short-lived stories like the AI bubble or major wildfires, inflation stayed relevant all year.
- Policy-Driven Interest: Big bills and tariffs kept people asking, “How will this affect my expenses?"
- Everyday Pain Points: From food to insurance to repairs, rising prices made inflation a daily concern.
- Lens for Everything Else: By year’s end, inflation became the backdrop to every major headline.
Inflation didn’t just trend — it defined the public’s mindset in 2025.
