It sort of a perfect storm from where I sit:

* Trump tax cuts contribute to deficit and demand

* COVID stimulus contribute to deficit and demand

* COVID causes supply shortages, with same demand, so therefore higher prices (see markups on cars).

* Putin has to go and make it worse with an invasion, pushing up energy costs, which are part of the cost of everything.
