“Yes, there will be a lot” is not a meaningful answer. People expressing concern about future very high inflation should also share how high and over what period of time.
I think there’s a fair chance CPI may peak at 3% or a bit higher this year, while average CPI will be below that, and next year average inflation will be below the average for 2021.
US capacity utilization is at 73%, which is low. Europe has a similar level, except Germany, which is higher. China has a level in the same range as US. This means business around the world can increase production without having to add new capacity, which points toward a steady price level.
