Inflation and demand are linked because high inflation prompts the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates to reduce demand [1], [2], while shifts in demand directly influence inflation levels during economic cycles [3], [4].

claimIn an expansionary phase, demand for goods and services often outpaces supply, leading to price increases, higher GDP growth, and rising inflation.
