Inflation back with a vengeance

Jul 01, 2008 (The Australian Financial Review - ABIX via COMTEX) -- The Reserve Bank of Australia has warned that the rising crude oil price means inflation remains a concern. However, the monetary policy statement issued on 1 July 2008 provides indications that the central bank believes that slowing domestic demand may bring inflation under control. Analysts say the concerns about inflation means investors need to be selective about the stocks they invest in. Don Williams of Platypus Asset Management says resources stocks are the best option during periods of high inflation.
