"The Post-'Everything Bubble' World: A Dangerous Market 'Bloodbath' with Trillions at Stake"
Economist Nouriel Roubini has warned that markets should brace for persistently higher inflation rates, leading to a stagflation era that will cause both fixed-income and equities to plummet over the next decade. Roubini predicts a "bloodbath" in the markets, with potential losses in the tens of trillions of dollars globally. Factors contributing to this include an aging workforce, deglobalization, increased government spending, and high levels of debt among both private and government borrowers. Central banks may raise inflation targets to avoid a debt trap scenario, while some countries may allow higher inflation to erode nominal debt.
