MI2 Partners' Julian Brigden hates to say he told you so, but, well, he told everyone so: "The idea that inflation is defeated is a joke." Now, with a hotter than expected CPI report earlier this week, and January's biggest dip in retail sales in almost 2 years, what's going on? Julian joins Maggie Lake to discuss where the market is mispriced, the threat of a great rotation out of US assets and the bold and risky plans the Trump Administration may be considering to bring down the deficit.
