Mark Mobius says inflation threat won’t go away anytime soon

Bloomberg reports that according to veteran investor Mark Mobius, the world’s largest money managers may be underestimating the durability of inflation after a record wave of money printing to combat the Covid-19 pandemic.

This will pose a particular problem in the U.S., where a rising inflation rate will weigh on the global reserve currency, said Mobius. At the same time, the quickening price growth is likely to support a rally in raw materials, even as the Bloomberg Commodity Index already hovers near its highest since July 2015, he said.

Such a backdrop favors emerging markets, which will grow faster than their developed-nation peers in the years ahead, Mobius said. Chinese and Indian equities, recently beaten down by a rout in technology shares as well as the latest Covid-19 crisis, look particularly attractive, he said. Yet he voiced caution about fully rotating into value stocks.
