 Inflation is on the rise – but just wait until the electric vehicle revolution starts turbocharging prices, Stagflation

 Oil prices have risen 80pc over the last year – as the global economy has rebooted. Food inflation is soaring, with global wholesale crop prices up an extraordinary 40pc in May, compared with the same month last year.

Copper prices have more than doubled over the last year, for instance, given that electric cars need five times more of it than conventional vehicles.

 And then there’s the looming danger that efforts to unwind or even just slow QE could provoke yet another nasty meltdown, as bloated financial asset prices collapse.

A nasty inflation spike would destroy business confidence and hammer investment, causing “stagflation”

Fed tapering?

 

Latest Fed meeting minutes indicated that “a number of participants” believed it might be “appropriate at some point in upcoming meetings” to begin thinking about those plans if progress continued towards the central bank’s goals of a more inclusive recovery from the pandemic.

Alla är glada. 

Happy days are here again!

Utom riksbankscheferna som vet att de inte har någon plan för återgång till något slags normalitet.
