Global inflation is accelerating again — and central banks are still playing catch-up.
The Fed, ECB, BOJ, BOE... all of them are behind the curve. They cut too fast, declared victory too early, and now they're staring at sticky inflation that won't cooperate.
More rate hikes are coming. The market hasn't fully priced this in yet.
If you're holding long-duration bonds or leveraged growth stocks, you might want to rethink that position. Higher rates for longer means pain for anything that borrowed against the assumption of cheap money forever.
This isn't doom and gloom — it's just reality. Central banks will do what they have to do. The question is whether investors will adjust before or after the next round of surprises.
History says most wait until after.
