Currency expert and highly respected John Hopkins economist Dr Steve Hanke warns that inflation will continue to rise aggressively through the rest of 2021, so high that it will eventually cause corporate profit margins to fall and thus trigger a painful market correction. Steve Hanke: Inflation To Hit 9% THIS YEAR? | Johns Hopkins Economist Issues Warning The current fiat incarnation of the US dollar just turned 50 this week. A week where America just retreated in ignominy from its longest war ever, the two decade invasion of Afghanistan. If the fiat US dollar is largely backed by the might of America’s military machine, will the failure to suppress the Taliban after 20 years of attempt, weaken the world’s confidence in the dollar? Inflation is rising fast and further currency devaluation by the further $trillions of stimulus being considered by world legislatures looks assured. “Don’t worry about the recent & substantial spike higher inflation”, we’re being told. “It’s only ‘temporary'”, they’re telling us. Respected economist Dr Steve Hanke disagrees. He warns that inflation may keep rising — all the way up to 9% this year. And as it does, he sees it strangling economic growth and dragging stock prices down — undoing much of the recovery seen over the past year.
