Morgan Stanley’s Global Inflation Surprise Index Enters Positive Territory For The First Time In Two Years

Our strategists have identified a list of European companies with the best and worst pricing dynamics, which is a good way to play reflation. This is in line with our estimates which keep unchanged the narrative that global growth and inflation will surprise on the upside this year, even more strongly, as the global inflation surprise index has entered positive territory for the first time in two years. Moreover, the index is at 10-year highs for the US, while leading indicators point to further rallies on the way.

But are we not being carried away to some extent by the disinflation inertia of the last few years? All eyes will be on the US Fed’s decision on interest rates and its forward guidance at this week’s meeting.

the Fed’s dovish hike.
