Another change that could put pressure on stocks moving forward is the possibility of rising inflation as the Fed pledges to keep rates low and its monetary stimulus programs running. (Doubleline CEO and founder Jeffrey)Gundlach pointed to a comment made by Chicago Fed President Charles Evans on Jan. 4. Then, Evans said, “The more we get inflation up above 2% then markets are going to understand that, yes, we’re in it to win it.” Gundlach, who expects the consumer price index a widely followed inflation metric to hit 3% in its May/June report, said inflation “is a real game changer, should it occur.” – Fred Imbert, “Jeff Gundlach Says Stock Valuations Are Extraordinarily High, Supported Only by the Fed,” www.cnbc.com, January 11, 2021.
