In the latest episode of Top of the Swaps, Delia Villiers, Head of UK Discretionary Sales, is joined by Deputy CIO and “Inflation Whisperer” Mark Greenwood to explore what’s driving the renewed focus on inflation and why it might not be as transitory as central banks suggest. Together, they delve into the rise of the so-called “debasement trade” and what it signals for investors, discuss whether gold’s record highs could point to longer-term inflation risks, and question the credibility of official inflation data. The conversation also considers whether developed markets may be entering a new era of sustained 5% inflation.     Important information Top of the Swaps is exclusively for professional investors only.
