Karen Karniol-Tambour, from Bridgewater Associates shared her views on why corporate profit margins are at risk, and why multiples in the US could come down. She thinks the market has only priced in the rates move, not the economic and earnings slowdown.

Bottom Line: you should probably worry more about the inventory glut, and economic slowdown coming in the next few months than inflation. Companies who understand this are quickly adjusting their cost structure to get ahead of this. Jobs will be lost.
