Inflation has emerged as one of the top financial concerns for investors as they size up the economy for the rest of the year.<\/p>\n

According to research by Deutsche Bank, Google searches for \u201cinflation\u201d are rising rapidly and recently hit a peak not seen since the tracking began 13 years ago.1<\/sup><\/p>\n

Fed Chair Jerome Powell has said that inflation is likely to pick up as the economy recovers from the pandemic, but he believes it will be temporary. Powell has also stated that the central bank plans to keep short-term rates anchored near zero through 2023.2<\/sup><\/p>\n

\u201cInflation is caused by too much money chasing after too few goods,\u201d according to Milton Friedman, the well-known American economist who won the 1976 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences.3<\/sup><\/p>\n

How much money is too much money? Remember that lawmakers have enacted six major stimulus bills, totaling about $5.3 trillion to help manage the economic burden on families and businesses during the pandemic.4<\/sup><\/p>\n
