Reasons for the deficit and rising inflation

Image
  Based on research by Bridgewater Associates . Supply chain problems and rising inflation persist. For investors, inflation is a big risk. Markets view inflation as a temporary phenomenon: " ...inflation will return to central bank targets. Regulators will be able to use loose monetary policy for a long time. " Bridgewater Associates researchers disagree. "Newspaper headlines focus on local supply-side problems (the port in Los Angeles, coal in China, natural gas in Europe, semiconductors around the world, truck drivers in the UK, etc.) and miss a global cause for which there is not yet specific solution. ...current inflation and rising prices are not a pandemic-related supply problem. The supply of virtually everything has reached record levels. The reason is an upward demand shock due to the direct issuance of money to buyers of goods and services. Some inflation drivers are temporary, but the underlying supply/demand imbalance is worsening." Researchers note a s

Why the NFT market is heading for a sharp drop

Ownership of the "original" JPEG called "Everydays: The First 5000 Days" was secured in the form of a non-fungible token (NFT). In 2021, investors invested $27 billion in this market .

Inflation will hit both bond prices and the stock market

Image
  Rising inflation in the US and around the world is forcing investors to assess the possible implications for "risky" assets (typically equities) and "safe" assets (such as US Treasury bonds). The traditional investment recommendation is to allocate wealth according to the 60/40 rule: 60% of the portfolio should be in stocks that bring more profit, but are more volatile, 40% - for bonds that bring less profit and are less volatile. Correlation between stock and bond prices Stock and bond prices are usually negatively correlated (when one rises, the other falls), so this combination will balance the risks and returns of the portfolio. When investors are optimistic and the economy is booming, stock prices and bond yields rise while bond prices fall. When investors are pessimistic and the economy is in recession, stock prices and bond yields decline, while bond prices rise. Inflation hurts both stocks and bonds A negative correlation between stock and bond prices sugg
