Does Inflation Differential Analysis Fail in Supply-Side Shock Environments?

Earl Christian

Classical fundamental models suggest higher domestic inflation forces a central bank to raise interest rates, which should appreciate the currency. But if inflation is driven by energy shortages or supply bottlenecks rather than strong consumer demand, rate hikes threaten stagflation and economic contraction, driving capital out of the country. Can fundamental analysis accurately predict currency movement without correctly categorizing the root cause of inflation?

    ​Why does a currency weaken when inflation spikes due to supply chain disruptions, but strengthen when inflation spikes due to strong economic growth?
