Writing for MarketWatch, Sarah Turner says that while soaring inflation across the world could affect consumers and central banks, it may result in investor taking a "more positive view" on the stock of some European companies.
Ms Turner notes that inflation in the euro zone has been running at more than three per cent, while data from the Bank of England predicted that inflation in the UK would remain high for the time being.
On Friday, the FTSE 100 index increased by 0.8 per cent, returning to where it had been at the beginning of the year.
Meanwhile, the euro increased against the dollar today (Monday 19th May) as Jean-Claude Trichet warned about rising inflation.
