Inflation is a savers nightmare. She comes to eat the yields and leaves only crumbs. In December, the rise in the cost of living reached 2.8% over one year according to INSEE. This is enough to worry individuals who have furnished their woolen stockings, on accounts bringing in little or nothing. In this context of rising prices, traders are rather well off. The CAC 40 did wonders in 2021 (+28.5%), with certain stocks which soared (Societe Generale, +77%; Hermès, +74%). Past performances do not predict those to come, but periods of inflation, when they are combined with growth, are generally conducive to good price performance.
