Inflation erodes the purchasing power of money, reducing the real returns on investments. Fixed-income securities, like bonds, are particularly vulnerable as their returns may not keep pace with rising prices. Conversely, assets like stocks, real estate, and commodities often provide a hedge against inflation as their values can increase in response to higher prices.
