Stagflation Looms as Inflation Reaches Its Peak




Inflation Has Peaked For 2022. We can expect price inflation to slow down from here on out, but why exactly?

CPI – the consumer price index – is a basket of goods comprised of several different components.

The biggest mover of these components, energy, is rolling over.

Last month it accounted for the entire drop in CPI from 8.5% to 8.3%.

But it’s not just the energy component that’s falling. It’s food, commodities, and services.

Every single component in CPI is topping out and primed to roll over. How do we know this?

We can watch live price charts of every single component.

The Food & Agriculture Price Index has fallen from its peak.

Crude Oil has fallen from its peak.

The CRB Commodities Index has fallen from its peak.

With every component of the Consumer Price Index falling, CPI inflation has peaked for this economic cycle.

BUT – Disinflation means slowing inflation, prices don’t ‘decrease’ – just increase at a slower rate.

Central banks will actively fight deflation, and target 2% yearly price inflation.

Inflation is slowed for now, and we’re potentially moving into Stagflation (elevated inflation, slow/no growth).

What assets perform well during stagflation, and what can you allocate to NOW to prepare yourself for the next inflationary impulse?

Inflation Has PEAKED (Prepare For Stagflation)

After months of skyrocketing prices and concerns about hyperinflation, it seems that inflation has finally reached its peak. While this may come as a relief to many, economists are now warning that a new threat is on the horizon: stagflation.

Stagflation is a term used to describe a situation where inflation is high, economic growth is slow, and unemployment is also high. This combination creates a challenging economic environment, as it becomes difficult for businesses to operate and for consumers to make ends meet.

So, what has caused this shift from high inflation to the possibility of stagflation? There are several factors at play. Firstly, the global supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have led to shortages of essential goods and materials, driving up prices. Additionally, the sudden surge in demand as economies reopen has put further pressure on already strained supply chains.

Furthermore, the unprecedented monetary and fiscal stimulus measures adopted by central banks and governments around the world have injected trillions of dollars into the economy, leading to excessive liquidity and overstimulation. This has fueled inflationary pressures, as the excess money supply has driven up consumer spending and asset prices.

The potential for stagflation is further exacerbated by the energy crisis, with skyrocketing fuel prices adding to the cost of living for consumers and raising production costs for businesses. Additionally, the labor market is showing signs of tightening, with a shortage of skilled workers and wage pressures also contributing to the overall inflationary environment.

As central banks grapple with the delicate task of taming inflation without derailing economic growth, policymakers face a tough challenge. Should they tighten monetary policy and raise interest rates to cool down inflation, they risk slowing down economic activity and exacerbating the ongoing supply chain disruptions. On the other hand, failing to address inflation could lead to a prolonged period of stagflation, which would bring its own set of challenges for businesses and consumers alike.

So, what can individuals and businesses do to prepare for the potential onset of stagflation? It is essential to reassess financial strategies and make adjustments to weather the storm. This may include diversifying investments, hedging against inflation, and implementing cost-cutting measures to protect against rising prices. Businesses should focus on efficiency and flexibility, while also exploring alternative sourcing and supply chain strategies to mitigate the impact of shortages and higher production costs.

In conclusion, while it appears that inflation has peaked, the threat of stagflation looms on the horizon. As the global economy navigates this challenging period, it is crucial for individuals and businesses to remain vigilant and adapt to the rapidly changing economic landscape. By taking proactive measures and staying informed, it is possible to navigate the uncertainties and emerge stronger on the other side.

    Do you still have a course for financial duration and also I was researching some things on assets and I came across this guy called Matthew kratter who pretty much described a lot of things that you're describing right now but he said Bitcoin might be the next version of gold but the modern day go and 2.0 what do you think.

    Marko: You need to spend more time listening to Peter Schiff. Inflation has not peaked. For example: President Biden has been raiding the emergency oil fund to pump a million dollars (at least) into the market every day of free gasoline. In November there will no more free gas being pumped into the economy and a gallon of gas will be over eight dollars a gallon. Inflation is going to continue to rise, unemployment will continue to rise, and production will continue to decrease.

    Awesome!!! your potential seems limitless. I have always been fascinated by investing, but without any knowledge on what’s best to invest in, I find it difficult to begin. I ask politely, what’s the best sector to invest in?

    If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to build generational wealth, and cultivate financial knowledge, you must be in the market.

    I studied MMT at Bard College and it made more sense than any neoclassical economic explanation to me. Randy Wray was my professor and his book Why Minsky Matters is a great intro as well as Steph Keltons book. I wish more people were aware of MMT explanations so that we weren’t arguing about indices that are so far removed from helpful policy. If recessions are like potential intruders in your house Neoclassical economists have us watching the microwave and not the doors and windows.
