A slew of European inflation data has hit the tapes and we saw huge moves at the short end of European yield curves as investors started to price a whole 25 basis points in European Central Bank rate hikes in 2022.
It probably isn’t much consolation that the US isn’t alone in struggling with the highest inflation in 40 years.

To talk about the inflation bogeyman facing consumers and policymakers around the world, Michael Avery is joined by Investec chief economist Annabel Bishop and Mike Schussler of economists.co.za.
