Inflation and Rates: Assessing the Evidence

The podcast discusses the current state of inflation and interest rates. While some evidence supports the narrative of disinflation, there are other indicators that suggest inflationary pressures. Rising shipping costs, geopolitical concerns, and elevated commodity prices point to the possibility of a super cycle in inflation. The employment numbers, wage increases, and rising prices of goods further contribute to the uncertainty. The podcast emphasizes the need to monitor indicators such as gold and silver prices, oil levels, and sugar prices for potential signals of an inflationary super cycle.
