Most typically, we measure inflation on a yearly basis. We say that inflation is high when the annual increase in prices of goods and services is unexpectedly increased. You might ask what triggers these periods. Most typically, geopolitical conflicts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this article, we analyzed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.minneapolisfed.org\/about-us\/monetary-policy\/inflation-calculator\/consumer-price-index-1913-\">Consumer Price Index from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis<\/a>, which includes the rate of inflation in the USA since 1913. Firstly, we calculated the top quintile and looked at which years inflation was higher. Therefore, we consider years with inflation above 5.62% high-inflation years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accordingly, there have been several high inflation periods since 1913. More specifically, we identified three clusters: 1916 \u2013 1920 (First World War), 1942 \u2013 1951 (Second World War), 1970 \u2013 1982 (1973 Oil Crisis). And as the figure shows, another high inflation period might be coming soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18398 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/\\\/\\\/new-fmhwbzh6ghd9hede.swedencentral-01.azurewebsites.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP00-RateOfInflation.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vvv.quantpedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP00-RateOfInflation.png 800w, https:\/\/vvv.quantpedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP00-RateOfInflation-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>First World War<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As previously mentioned, geopolitical conflicts tend to trigger high inflation, and the first world war was not an exception. The annual rate of inflation before and at the beginning of the 1WW was around 1%. However, it rose to 7.7% in 1916 and 17.8% in 1917. The inflation rate stayed abnormally high until 1920 and fell to deflation (-10.9%) in 1921. Unfortunately, we do not have factor performance data from this period, so this period is excluded from further analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Second World War<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you might have expected, the following high inflation period occurred during and after the second world war. The annual inflation rate started to grow in 1941 and reached 10.9% in 1942. As the war ended in 1945, inflation was unexpectedly low. However, it rose again in 1946 to 14.4%. The rapid post-war inflationary episode was caused by the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/cea\/written-materials\/2021\/07\/06\/historical-parallels-to-todays-inflationary-episode\/\"> elimination of price controls, supply shortages, and pent-up demand<\/a>. Additionally, in 1951, the Korean war started. Overall, the average inflation between 1942 and 1951 was 5.94%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Oil Crisis of 1973<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The last high inflation period we analyze is the period around the 1973 oil crisis. The crisis was a direct consequence of the Arab-Israeli War. Arab members of OPEC (the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries) restricted the U.S. because of their relationship with Israel. The U.S. was re-supplying the Israeli military to gain leverage during the post-war peace negotiations. The inflation rate rose from 3.3% in 1972 to 6.2% in 1973 and 11.1% in 1974. It stayed abnormal until 1983 when it fell to 3.2%. But high inflation in this period can&#8217;t be just blamed on the geopolitical situation; some steps of the FED were probably also the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/articles\/economics\/09\/1970s-great-inflation.asp\" target=\"_blank\">source of the inflation problem<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>High Inflation Periods Analysis<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second world war and the 1973 oil crisis are the main subjects of this article. We analyze the Fama and French 3 Factors (Mkt, SMB, HML), Momentum, Short-Term Reversal Factor, Long-Term Reversal Factor, and 10 Industry Portfolios during the time of the events. We exclude the first world war, as we do not have data for this period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The figures in this section follow a color scheme:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"color:#0693e3\" class=\"tadv-color\"><strong>1942 \u2013 1951: light blue to dark blue<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\"><strong>1970 \u2013 1977: light red to dark red<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color:#00d084\" class=\"tadv-color\"><strong>1978 \u2013 1982: light green to dark green<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">so that it is easier to recognize individual years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Market During High Inflation Periods<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firstly, we analyze the market&#8217;s movement during the abovementioned one-year periods. The following figure illustrates the equity curves of the market. The black curve represents the market&#8217;s average performance during the individual years. On average, the yearly performance of the market portfolio is 3.28%. While the average market performance is not small, it is definitely smaller than in the years when the inflation is not so high. The distribution of yearly returns is nearly symmetrical, but it seems that the 1970s were worse than the 40s or 80s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18399 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/\\\/\\\/new-fmhwbzh6ghd9hede.swedencentral-01.azurewebsites.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP01-Market.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vvv.quantpedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP01-Market.png 800w, https:\/\/vvv.quantpedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP01-Market-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Safe-Haven Assets During High Inflation Years<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secondly, we look into how safe-haven assets would behave during the years of high inflation. We use the <a href=\"https:\/\/mba.tuck.dartmouth.edu\/pages\/faculty\/ken.french\/Data_Library\/det_10_ind_port.html\">10 Industry Portfolios<\/a> to create a bond-like portfolio by going long utilities and shorting the average of the nine industries ex. utilities. The long-short portfolio should have a bond-like payoff. On average, the yearly performance of such safe-haven portfolio is 2.07%. Here, the pattern is clear, the worst performance was in the late 70s and the beginning of the 80s when the inflation shot up, and the FED started to increase short-term interest rates to over 10%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18400 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/\\\/\\\/new-fmhwbzh6ghd9hede.swedencentral-01.azurewebsites.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP02-Utilities.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"588\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vvv.quantpedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP02-Utilities.png 800w, https:\/\/vvv.quantpedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP02-Utilities-300x221.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Energy Prices Proxy <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, we examined the energy prices proxy\/ crude oil proxy by calculating another long-short portfolio. Again, we analyze the <a href=\"https:\/\/mba.tuck.dartmouth.edu\/pages\/faculty\/ken.french\/Data_Library\/det_10_ind_port.html\">10 Industry Portfolios<\/a>, and we calculate a portfolio that goes long energy and shorts the average of the nine industries ex. energy. On average, the annual performance of the energy price proxy is 6.37%. It&#8217;s not unexpected; the energy stocks are a natural hedge for the period of high inflation. The performance was nearly always positive; the only really bad years for energy stocks were 1981 and 1982, the years at the end of the 1970s and 1990s high inflation cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18401 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/\\\/\\\/new-fmhwbzh6ghd9hede.swedencentral-01.azurewebsites.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP03-Energy.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vvv.quantpedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP03-Energy.png 800w, https:\/\/vvv.quantpedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP03-Energy-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tech Portfolios During High Inflation Years<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, we examined the tech prices proxy by calculating another long-short portfolio. Again, we analyze the <a href=\"https:\/\/mba.tuck.dartmouth.edu\/pages\/faculty\/ken.french\/Data_Library\/det_10_ind_port.html\">10 Industry Portfolios<\/a>, and we calculate a portfolio that goes long tech and shorts the average of the nine industries ex. tech. Overall, the tech industry performs the worse during the high inflation periods. On average, the annual performance of the tech price proxy is -1.01%. This finding is probably the most important of our analysis. The tech sector is usually hit more than the sector of utilities; that is probably caused by shrinking the P\/E ratios for high growth stocks. Tech stocks have usually&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/\\\/\\\/new-fmhwbzh6ghd9hede.swedencentral-01.azurewebsites.net\/implied-equity-duration-as-a-measure-of-pandemic-shutdown-risk\/\" target=\"_blank\">higher implied duration<\/a>, which causes their underperformance as rising inflation and rising rates are constantly re-pricing the future value of tech stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18402 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/\\\/\\\/new-fmhwbzh6ghd9hede.swedencentral-01.azurewebsites.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP04-Tech.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vvv.quantpedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP04-Tech.png 800w, https:\/\/vvv.quantpedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP04-Tech-300x226.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SMB and HML<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Small Minus Big (SMB) and High Minus Low (HML) are two of the <a href=\"https:\/\/mba.tuck.dartmouth.edu\/pages\/faculty\/ken.french\/Data_Library\/f-f_factors.html\">Fama and French 3 Factors<\/a>. SMB is defined as the average return on the three small portfolios minus the average return on the three big portfolios.

The performance of long-term reversal was mostly positive during the majority of the high inflation years. The only exceptions were 1951, 1979, and 1980, where the performance declined. On average, the yearly performance of the long-term reversal factor is 9.75%. The long-term reversal effect is vaguely similar to Fama&amp; French HML factor, but it doesn&#8217;t use the balance sheet information, just the information from stocks&#8217; prices alone. Our analysis also shows attractive performance in high inflation periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18403 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/\\\/\\\/new-fmhwbzh6ghd9hede.swedencentral-01.azurewebsites.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP05-LongTermReversal.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vvv.quantpedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP05-LongTermReversal.png 800w, https:\/\/vvv.quantpedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP05-LongTermReversal-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Momentum Effect During High Inflation Periods<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike the long-term reversal factor, the performances of the <a href=\"https:\/\/mba.tuck.dartmouth.edu\/pages\/faculty\/ken.french\/Data_Library\/det_mom_factor_daily.html\">momentum effect<\/a> are more unevenly distributed. During most years, the performance of the momentum factor is around 0%. However, there are a few years with an abnormal yearly return, specifically 1973, 1980, and 1982. And a few with significantly bad performance: 1942, 1975, 1981. On average, the annual performance of the momentum factor reaches 8.43%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18404 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/\\\/\\\/new-fmhwbzh6ghd9hede.swedencentral-01.azurewebsites.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP06-Momentum.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vvv.quantpedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP06-Momentum.png 800w, https:\/\/vvv.quantpedia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/HIP06-Momentum-300x228.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This article examines high inflation periods. We defined high inflation as above 5.62%, which is the top quintile, calculated from the data from 1913 to 2021. We found multiple years during which the inflation was abnormally high. As the high inflation periods cluster, we defined three periods: 1916 \u2013 1920 (First World War), 1942 \u2013 1951 (Second World War), and 1970 \u2013 1982 (1973 Oil Crisis).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We analyzed the Fama and French 3 Factors (Mkt, SMB, HML), Momentum, Long-Term Reversal Factor, and 10 Industry Portfolios during the above-mentioned periods, excluding the first world war, as we do not have factor\u2019s performance data from this period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The article presents the performance of each factor during high inflation years. Also, average performance is calculated for each factor. Overall, the market factor&#8217;s average performance is 3.28%. The factors with the highest average performance are HML (value stocks), long-term reversal, momentum and energy stocks. On the other hand, tech stocks, bond-like assets and the SMB factor should be avoided during the high inflation periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, all graphs show a large variance between the performance of individual factors over the years. Even though the average yearly return is higher\/lower compared to the market&#8217;s return, the performance during individual years can vary significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another period of sustained high inflation is probably right around the corner, as the Russia-Ukraine Conflict keeps evolving, and its end is nowhere to be seen. So it would probably be wise to prepare for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Author:<br>Daniela Hanicova, Quant Analyst, Quantpedia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-854363cc-8450-4dc0-a06a-c737766e9431\"><strong>Are you looking for more strategies to read about? <a href=\"https:\/\/\\\/\\\/new-fmhwbzh6ghd9hede.swedencentral-01.azurewebsites.net\/sign-up-for-our-newsletter\/\">Sign up for our newsletter<\/a> or visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/\\\/\\\/new-fmhwbzh6ghd9hede.swedencentral-01.azurewebsites.net\/blog\/\">Blog<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/\\\/\\\/new-fmhwbzh6ghd9hede.swedencentral-01.azurewebsites.net\/Screener\">Screener<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-65925002-6290-4d3b-b5cd-f3a277851ec8\"><strong>Do you want to learn more about Quantpedia Premium service?

In this article, we analyzed the Consumer Price Index from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, which includes the rate of inflation in the USA since 1913. We found multiple years during which the inflation was abnormally high and analyzed the performance of the known equity long-short factors.
