Inflation

The big question for the day ahead of the US CPI report is whether we’ve reached “peak inflation.” In essence, it’s easy to argue that we’ll see lower inflation readings in the coming months, and that may be all that markets care about – at least for the time being. There are no easy solutions to the world’s problems when it comes to resolving the issues that have caused inflation pressures to skyrocket in the last year. And those problems aren’t going away anytime soon.

At some point, policymakers may need to acknowledge that inflationary pressures will become more persistent and sticky, and that if they are to combat this further, tighter policy may be required for a longer period of time.
