Fidelity Investment Managers Profited from Betting on Rising Inflation Before the Outbreak of the Iran War

ME News Report, May 15 (UTC+8), before the outbreak of the Iran war, Fidelity International portfolio manager Mike Riddell was skeptical about the view that global price pressures were easing. His contrarian bet at the time — that inflation was about to rise — has now paid off handsomely. A few months ago, he bought inflation swap contracts in the US and UK, essentially to hedge against the risk of higher-than-expected inflation. This was because he believed that before the Iran war caused oil prices to surge above $100 per barrel, the bond market (and most of his peers) had seriously underestimated inflation risk. Riddell said in an interview: "Considering the multiple rate cuts expected by global investors, the risk of Middle East conflict is definitely not reflected in interest rates." Despite slightly reducing his holdings, he still holds inflation swap contracts. (Jin10) (Source: ODAILY)

Inflation swaps are a clever tool to use.

When the market underestimates risk, having the courage to bet is true skill

This move is really bold; betting against the trend and still holding on.

The skeptics ended up eating the meat.
