Another indicator would be the price of gold. Granted, there is DEFINITELY a fear-based "gold bubble", but not all of the increased price is that bubble. Some of it is genuine loss in buying power of the dollar. You can also see the weakening of the dollar on the world scene. This is due to the world's belief that the dollar will be "worth less" soon - another indicator that inflation is coming.
