Listen "Global Market Outlook (28 May 2021): Inflation - A flash in the pan"

Episode Synopsis

Recent data have reignited inflation worries, but we expect the rise in inflation to be short-lived given still-wide gaps to full employment in major economies. We maintain our preference for global equities and Emerging Market and High Yield corporate bonds, noting they have historically performed well in both rising and falling inflation scenarios as long as global growth is rising.Speakers:Steve Brice, Chief Investment Officer, Standard Chartered BankAudrey Goh, Senior Cross-Asset Strategist, Standard Chartered Bank
