"Not only are economists concerned about a slowing global economy, but any new lockdown measures will add further problems to the current supply disruptions. In other words, there is a growing risk of stagflation," analyst Neils Christensen told Kitco News. "With inflation on the rise, it is not surprising that the Federal Reserve is looking to tighten its monetary policy a little sooner than the end of next year. The pace of tapering could also speed up, but that still doesn't change the current environment," Neils added.
