The Inflation Narrative
Inflation being 0% in July doesn’t diminish that pain and worry that so many are experiencing. There is still a long way to go. But even marginal improvements can tip the dominoes in a better direction - which should help shape expectations to be more positive, and the compounding impact of that is a good thing.

The Semantics of a Recession
Grief and love are the same emotion, expressed differently. We are living in a world of increasing differentials, where our base case is becoming less probable, and we are having to build out new models of thinking. That is exciting but scary - we might be all experiencing the derivative of the ‘same thing’ as our economic world changes around us but it shows up for all us differently. And that is important to remember.

Investing in an Inflationary Environment
Note: the interview was filmed in April 2022 so some dynamics have changed, but the core interview applies even more now than it did then
I got the chance to interview Don Casturo, the CIO of Quantix Commodities. We discussed commodities, and how you can hedge against inflation in your own portfolio.
