Professional Investors have recently been rotating their portfolios based on the view that inflation is not going away soon. But is this a given?

Looking at headline CPI alone does not tell the whole picture. Digging into the US core CPI excluding food and energy costs, the 'other' drivers of inflation recorded a mediocre 0.3% increase in March in the US - the slowest pace in 6 months.

The world has had time to re-group and re-plan. And as such, the 'other' factors driving inflation - tight labour markets, supply-chain disruption and pent-up demand for a return to normal living - are resulting in a re-normalisation that supports the 'transient is back' argument.
