Beyond the Portfolio - Stagflation: Risk or Reality?

Host Mike Miranda sits down with Doug Porter, Chief Economist at BMO, to examine whether stagflation, the dangerous combination of high inflation and stagnant growth that plagued the 1970s, could be making a comeback. With growth showing signs of slowing while inflation remains above the Fed's target, they analyze current economic data to determine if we're headed for a soft landing, a more pronounced slowdown, or something more stagflation-like.

The conversation explores the Fed's policy dilemma between fighting inflation and supporting growth, potential economic surprises that could derail base case forecasts, and what this all means for investors navigating an increasingly complex economic landscape.
