The prospect of inflationary expectations as lockdowns continue
In recent days I’m coming to the view that governments are driven by a political imperative to value all lives equally, and will NOT change tack till their societies almost collapse – which can take 4-5 months at the least. In the meanwhile things can get worse on the debt front.
This is a post to keep track of this issue, particularly the views of others – for ultimately, the market can turn rapidly (as we saw with the crash in stock prices a month ago).

Inflation : no way with a demand collapse for last 12 months in India and more so after the unwise lock down.There is a fear psychosis with investors in India ( unless they are in NAMO’s protected group). More likely a hard recession.
