Billionaire Ken Griffin calls markets 'unprepared' for inflation - Business Insider

Two crossed lines that form an 'X'. It indicates a way to close an interaction, or dismiss a notification.A jump in US inflation is among the biggest risks to financial markets, and the country shows "absolutely no preparedness" for such an event, Ken Griffin, founder of $32 billion hedge fund Citadel, said Thursday.

The Federal Reserve's preferred inflation metric sits at 1.6%, and hasn't consistently hit its 2% target in years. Inflation has remained relatively stagnant for years, rarely landing above the Fed's 2% target or low enough to drive fears of price deflation. Markets have generally priced in a lack of rapid inflation, leaving the US with "absolutely no preparedness" for such a jump, the hedge fund billionaire said at the Economic Club of New York.The Citadel founder recalled when his fund pored over Fed minutes in the months before the a first rate hike.

Griffin also pointed to the coronavirus outbreak as "probably the most concrete short-run risk we see in the financial markets globally."have already faced supply chain hurdles, lowered forward guidance, or closed hundreds of stores in response to the pandemic, and the virus has accelerated its infection rate through February.

And MAGATs are too busy worshipping Trump to see what's about to land on them like a ton of bricks.
