Gas prices will probably go up this summer

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but all three economists we asked say gas prices are due for another hike this summer.

Also in this episode: Bond investors expect inflation to stick around for a while, a trio of upcoming IPOs will barely put a dent in total market cap, and Kansas City short-term rental demand disappoints as World Cup kicks off.
