An independent research offering that you can trust
Amidst a sea of politically tainted economic analyses, Economics Uncovered is an independent research publication that is unaffiliated with any political organisations and is 100% subscriber funded.
This ensures that Economics Uncovered can fulfill its mission to be a trusted provider of unbiased, data driven economic insights that unpack the US economy, and help you to get ahead.
Economics Uncovered was founded by Steven Anastasiou, a former sell-side research analyst, who being dismayed by the poor understanding of the inflation implications that would stem from enormous post-COVID money printing, began planning an independent, unbiased, data driven macroeconomic research service, which ultimately became Economics Uncovered.
Some additional detail on what you can expect
On a monthly basis, you can expect to receive the following research reports at a minimum: US Jobs Report Review; US CPI Preview; US CPI Review; and a monthly US Economic Review.
Economics Uncovered’s US CPI reports contain Steven Anastasiou’s own proprietary forecasts, with his track record dating back to January 2023 available below:
In addition to these monthly reports, you can expect to receive a Quarterly US Inflation Update (which includes an update to Steven’s medium-term US CPI forecast, which currently covers all of 2024).
In addition to this minimum stipulation, a subscription to Economics Uncovered will also give you access to regular ad-hoc updates on important economic topics as they arise. Past examples of such reports include: the latest Treasury refunding announcement, and the impact of the BLS’ changed methodology for calculating owner’s equivalent rent (OER).

A particular focus on inflation, with a strong track record
While providing insights across the economy as a whole, a particular focus of Economics Uncovered is to break down what’s happening with inflation, and where it’s likely to head.
Steven has written extensively on inflation, with his greater focus on the money supply enabling him to accurately predict where inflation is headed, well in advance of the broader market.
While working as a sell-side research analyst in August 2020, with inflation not even on the widest outskirts of most people’s radars, Steven publicly warned that in light of the enormous increase in the US money supply, that gold wasn’t going to be the only commodity to see higher prices, instead, he warned that the expansion in the money supply would “flow on to all commodities, and eventually all prices within the economy”.
After first calling out that higher inflation was on the way in 2020, in September 2022, when most were extremely concerned about the outlook for inflation, Steven published his first report for Economics Uncovered, writing that in the absence of another large spike in energy prices, annual US CPI inflation was likely to have peaked in June 2022.
Throughout 2023, Steven regularly articulated via ongoing updates to his medium-term US CPI forecasts and monthly US CPI Previews/Reviews, that inflation was set to fall materially in 2023.
As opposed to just keeping you up-to-date on inflation, a premium subscription to Economics Uncovered will keep you one step ahead, where by delving deeply into the impact of Fed policy, federal government deficit spending and bank lending on the money supply (which leads prices), Steven will aim to warn of any likely major shift in inflation, well in advance of it actually occurring.
