Rising inflation can shake the global markets

Investors devoted to the idea that inflation will remain low, is time to think about it. From the latest data published on a global scale, it has become clear that producer price increases have made some progress. This, in turn, has forced buyers to focus on bets that consumer inflation in the US will rise strongly above the desired 2 percent in March this year.

Peter Boockvar, Chief Financial Officer of the Bleakley Financial Group, is of the opinion that more and more fund managers are beginning to talk about inflation as a major and fairly understated risk on the stock market for 2018.

The last sign of price pressure we got yesterday. US production in December climbed at the fastest pace in three months as earnings from orders and production peaked in 2004. here. Global plants have warned that it is increasingly difficult to cope with demand, potentially forcing them to raise prices, as the world economy seems to enjoy its strongest year since 2011. here. France, Canada and the UK have made deeper supply constraints.

Another threat to consumer inflation comes from the surge in commodity prices, such as copper and cotton, and this has significantly affected the final price of commodities on the US market.
