Why today's stagflation is different from the 1970s'
Stagflation fears are rising, but smart investors see opportunity — not panic.
In this episode of Stocks in Translation, Pennington Partners & Co. president and chief investment officer Christopher Wolfe joins host Jared Blikre and Yahoo Finance Senior Reporter Brooke DiPalma to break down everything you need to know about stagflation in the current market, and how investors and companies can protect themselves amid economic uncertainty.

Wolfe also explores how the Federal Reserve's limited rate-cut flexibility, fiscal policy incentives, and corporate investment in artificial intelligence (AI) will shape markets.
