Coming to terms with stagflation
First, we had to brush up our understanding of inflation and what it means for our hip pocket and our investments. Now the term stagflation is being thrown into the economic mix.
Paul Forbes
The 21_22 financial year has been and gone and it was definitely two very different six monthly periods.
Looking back over the twelve months, the markets, somewhat surprisingly, strengthened from 1 July 2021 to 31 December 2021. It was a difficult market to read as earnings forecasts post Covid19 may have been understated and this was driving expectations. We discussed this in our blog at the time and the concern was the unknowns such as interest rates and inflation.
In our May release we discussed inflation hurdles, rising interest rates, geopolitical concerns and energy wars.
This article considers the investment backdrop and what is happening out there.
