Inflation fights politics

The Dollar is down to the pound and euro from better than expected inflation numbers out of the UK and upbeat remarks from the ECB. In about 30 minutes Theresa May is set to outline her Brexit plans which could send the pound back in the other direction.

We have seen the inflation pick up in many regions that were plagued with slow growth and low inflation since the crisis, which has allowed the Fed to raise rates and the look to do so more aggressively this year. But the political landscape it talking about some policies that could derail these early signs of normalcy.

​The hard Brexit speech coming up within the hour will be the first we can see the headwinds that the UK might face over the coming years and how this will affect growth.

Chinese President Xi Jinping has also make some strong comment at the World Economic Forum in response to Trumps trade talks. The rhetoric isn't the main reason for concern, but the fact that Xi is at the forum is a sign that China looks to take a more active role in the global economy. If America starts to isolate itself now it will be ceding regional power and economic potential to countries that are looking for a more outward role.

Through this week's inauguration and the months beyond we will see if the politics of the Eurozone, UK, and US will have the same effect that the November elections did for the reflation trade or if the skepticism of trade and globalization start to pull back growth expectations.
