Inflation and Growth in 2024

The discussion focuses on the potential resurgence of inflation in 2024 after a period of transitory disinflation. The improvement in supply chain disruptions and labor force participation has contributed to a decline in inflation. However, the speaker predicts that these improvements are coming to an end, and the strong demand, fueled by factors such as wage growth, increased household net worth, and deficit spending, will lead to a resurgence of inflation. The speaker believes that stocks will outperform bonds in this scenario.
