Is Inflation Transitory or Not?
by Robert Stoll, Financial Design Studio
The biggest investment debate of 2021 is about the future of inflation. One side of the debate believes we’re entering a new period of sustained, higher inflation after 40 years of low and declining inflation.

This isn’t a trivial debate, as the investment implications of either outcome are diametrically opposed. The question to ask is, “Is Inflation Transitory or Not?”
