The threat of currency debasement activity by central banks is indeed the driver of asset prices, but this simply cannot be compared to hyper-inflation situations. Inflation expectations are in fact at a multi-year low, and money supply inflation has almost ground to a complete halt (just 2% y/y at present).
In connection with price inflation, asset prices go through very specific cycles - there would be not a single negative yielding bond if the markets were scared of price inflation (i.e., CPI inflation). Moreover, under "high inflation" conditions (5% to 15% CPI inflation), stock prices tend to fall sharply, as multiples will contract
