Burry Predicts Inflation Resurgence After Recent Decline
-
Michael Burry predicted inflation would spike again after declining in 2022. Prices jumped in February and March after slowing last year.
-
Burry first warned of inflation risks in April 2020 when prices were flat. Inflation later hit 40-year highs before cooling.
-
In January 2023 Burry forecast inflation would fall but then surge again, tied to recession, rate cuts, and stimulus.
-
While his recession call was wrong so far, inflation has ticked up lately potentially due to solid consumer spending and jobs growth.
-
Burry rose to fame betting against the mid-2000s housing bubble, as featured in "The Big Short" book and movie. He's made various contrarian market calls since.
