2017 was the year that the financial system moved from fearing deflation to expecting inflation as you can see in the chart below. From 2013 until mid-2016, the financial system’s expectations of future inflation were in a downtrend but in mid-2016 this changed as expectations began to rise. The downtrend broke in early 2017 and since then has continued to rally bouncing off support along the way.
This trend has since strengthened with Producer Prices spiking in every major economy in the world.
As you can see, Producer Prices are spiking in China, the EU, Japan and the U.S. – four countries accounting for over two thirds of global GDP – and the bond market has finally taken note, with bond yields rising above their downtrends in Japan, the U.K., the U.S. and Germany.
Put simply, BIG INFLATION is THE BIG MONEY trend today and smart investors will use it to generate literal fortunes.
Conclusion
Imagine if you’d prepared your portfolio for a collapse in Tech Stocks in 2000 or a collapse in banks in 2008? Imagine just how much money you could have made with the right investments. THAT is the kind of potential we have today and if you’re not already taking steps to prepare for this, it’s time to get a move on.
