Nomura Securities found that three periods of high inflation appeared from 2003 to 2004, 2007 to 2008 and the most recent one starting from June 2010.
Past experience has shown a correlation between inflation and stock markets, according to Nomura.
“At the beginning of the inflation period, stock markets were negatively affected; at the middle of the period, stock markets made adjustments; and at the end of inflation, stock markets were set in an upswing,” said Wu.
