THE STATE OF INFLATION
Across the globe, everything screamed inflation this year, which makes it no surprise that one of the most-read pieces of 2021 on Dimensional’s Insights blog was named just that. “Everything Screams Inflation” takes a look at headlines over the past 50 years and shows the difficulty of timing markets around inflation expectations. Our Research team also published a scientific paper on the topic, “US Inflation and Global Asset Returns,” and an accompanying blog post, “Are Concerns About Inflation Inflated?”
