A roundup of investment ideas for active investors
One explanation for the persistence of inflation pressure is the sharp increase in wealth during the pandemic. In the U.S., the total net worth of Americans increased by 37 per cent in the two years ended March 2022, by far the biggest increase in the data set which began in 1989.
The less-wealthy groups also have a greater marginal propensity to consume – they are more likely to spend the new funds rather than save, and this demand helped push prices higher. Corporations have been able to pass on inflation pressure, and maintain profit margins, by raising prices and this has supported inflation at elevated levels. Operating profit margins in the second quarter of this year sat at a record 13.4 per cent when, for context, they were in the 5-10 per cent range from 1994 to 2014.
