Key Quotes
“This rise in expected inflation has since then (from early 2017 or only from early 2018) had the effects we could expect:
- Rise in expected short-term interest rates, rise in long-term interest rates;
- The rise in long-term interest rates exceeding the upward revision of growth, decline in equity valuation;
- Rise in the price of gold and other safe-haven assets used to hedge against inflation (Swiss franc);
- Expected reduction in available liquidity, and therefore a fall in the prices of assets for which demand is linked to liquidity (bitcoin).”
