Inflation continued to rise above market and Federal Reserve expectations in the first half of 2022, persisting at elevated levels last seen in the 1980s. This was contrary to the “transitory inflation” narrative that dominated 2021. Looking ahead, we expect supply/demand dynamics to start normalizing in certain industries, as supply chains heal and less supportive fiscal and monetary policies filter through the economy.
