On the horizon, we can see that structural inflation is only going to get worse. Central banks are going to be like a high-wire walker, managing a delicate balancing act, because inflation has two faces: when it’s too low it shows a physiological problem of growth, but when it’s too high it creates issues with refinancing public debt.
