INFLATION REARS ITS UGLY HEAD

INFLATION REARS ITS UGLY HEAD

Saudi Arabia [4.9%] and China [6.5%] have just reported big increases in October inflation. These are high numbers…..but more worrisome they are way up from a year earlier. India reported their big inflation increase a while back at 6.2 % in September. Much of the developing world is suffering from inflation as well.
