Just keep in mind while evaluating "inflation" that it refers to domestic costs of each currency, but frequently the international exchange rate between, say the USD and your host country's currency, may be more important to your international asset value. Eight months ago, the US dollar index was about 100 and now it is at 108. While US residents scream about their "high" rate of inflation, the international purchasing power of their cash has appreciated 8% over the past few months.
