I know that this may come as a surprise given that the price of consumer goods is rising and all the media content seems to be highlighting an environment of run-away inflation.\nMaybe the inflation trade just got overextended and this is a healthy pullback before we get another strong advance. Only time will tell, but the charts are suggesting deflation right now – not inflation.\nDuring deflationary environments, investors should focus on capital preservation. The best asset class in this environment is typically bonds.
