Inflation is the rate at which the general level of prices for goods and services rises, leading to a decrease in purchasing power. In trading, inflation directly impacts asset prices, as rising inflation often leads to higher interest rates, reducing the appeal of bonds and increasing the cost of borrowing. Traders monitor inflation data to adjust their strategies for stocks, bonds, and commodities, with certain assets, such as precious metals and real estate, often seen as hedges against inflation.
