As summer turns to fall, many things are changing, but inflation remains directionally unchanged - stubbornly high. The August U.S. CPI numbers came in hotter than expected at 8.3%, causing further volatility in the markets the rest of the week. So, does this point to another aggressive rate hike by the Fed, and what will that mean for portfolio allocation decisions? David Tulk is today’s guest to unpack this and more. David is a portfolio manager on Fidelity’s Global Asset Allocation team who manage many funds for Canadian investors, including Fidelity Inflation-Focused Fund and the Fidelity Managed Portfolios suite. A few key topics from today’s 30-minute discussion between David and host Pamela Ritchie include a positioning update on the G.A.A. team’s funds including global allocations, specifically China. Also, a look at energy, gold, a long-term outlook for the Canadian dollar which includes looking at housing and interest rates. Additionally, David believing inflation is likely to be more persistent than what central banks and the market believes.
