“Yet, there is clearly some concern about the poor mix of slowing global growth with stickier inflation.”
“In our view, ‘stagflation lite’ – a lighter version of the 1970s stagflation – is occurring. We believe that this still plays to the advantage of the USD – one of the ‘hardest’ currencies.”
“A more serious form of stagflation is not our base case; however, if the markets increasingly fear this scenario, the USD should also be primed to benefit.”
