Fast Money's Inflation Safety Zone Stocks

Description:

There’s no question that inflation is escalating sharply in Russia, adds Tim Seymour, Fast Money’s favorite emerging markets trader. It’s also an issue in India and South Africa where inflation reached 10.4% in April, that’s a 5-year high. However, Brazil could be a safety zone, he adds. Brazil has two things that allow it to isolate itself from inflation 1) it’s currency is up 20% year over year which gives the economy room to absorb higher prices. 2) they have “real” rates. I expect companies to continue to do well in this nation.
