Inflation’s Return: The Hot New Reality (And What It Means for Your Wallet)
Let’s face it—cash is no longer the super‑hero you thought it was. Nigel Green, the big boss of deVere Group, warns that once again the price level is on the rise, pulling your dollar’s buying power down faster than you can say “budget groceries.”
Why Will Inflation Heat Up?
Three guys are stirring the pot this time:
- Donald Trump’s comeback – Imagine a blockbuster budget that keeps pouring money into roads, bridges, and maybe a few other shiny projects. That kind of big‑spending lights up demand and, naturally, the price tags.
- Labour’s UK win – The new administration plans to sprinkle funds across housing, green energy, and public services. With higher wages and more spending, prices can start to climb if workers do things a little faster than productivity allows.
- Middle‑East tensions – Oil in the mix is always a price‑warper. If supply boats get shunted or put on shaky ground, transportation, manufacturing—and everyday goods—get nudged higher.
Cash: The “Safe” Yet “Slipped‑Through‑Your‑Fingers” Asset
Think of cash as sand in a jar: keep your fingers a while, and it dribbles right out. Nigel points out, “If you sit on a pile of cash while prices rise, you’re basically letting your money sleep with an open spot for someone else to eat it.”
What deVere Group Suggests to Keep Your Wealth in Shape
They recommend a power‑move: shift your unprotected keeps into stuff that golfers say can chase inflation.
- Equities with an edge – Energy, infrastructure, and green tech firms are poised to jump on the spending train. They can grow as the government pushes those sectors.
- Inflation‑linked bonds – Bonds that tick up with the price level keep you in sync with reality.
- Real estate and commodities – Physical assets like land or metals make for tasty insurance against price‑drift.
“Letting cash sit in an inflating world is a losing game,” Nigel says. Now’s the moment to leap into these hedge‑friendly assets—else you’ll be the only one left at the party, watching your wealth disappear into the background.
