EME Macro/Strategy: Inflation, not Trump, is the biggest problem

The real, big challenge ahead is growing inflation, not trade tensions; this, in our view, was the strongest message of the July sentiment indices. Export expectations are more commonly down than up, and inventories are rising in several countries. The recent agreement between Trump and Junker signals a pause in the trade tensions, for now. At the same time, inflation is a growing problem: rising actual commodities inflation, rising inflation expectations, escalating wage pressures and rising house prices.
