My Outlook
The unexpected increase in inflation is not a positive development, contrary to what some headlines may suggest. While we anticipate a decrease in inflation, it is unlikely to reach the Fed's target of 2% for several years. This means that the US will likely have higher interest rates than other countries, even if inflation rates are higher elsewhere. This could result in a stronger dollar for an extended period, potentially throughout the year.
