Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Inflationary risk refers to the risk that inflation will undermine the performance of an investment, the value of an asset, or the purchasing power of a stream of income.

Detailed explanation-2: -Inflationary risk (also called inflation risk or purchasing power risk) is a way to describe the risk that inflation can pose to a portfolio over time. Specifically, it refers to the possibility that rising prices associated with inflation could outpace the returns delivered by your investments.

Detailed explanation-3: -What Is Interest Rate Risk? Interest rate risk is the potential for investment losses that can be triggered by a move upward in the prevailing rates for new debt instruments. If interest rates rise, for instance, the value of a bond or other fixed-income investment in the secondary market will decline.

Detailed explanation-4: -More jobs and higher wages increase household incomes and lead to a rise in consumer spending, further increasing aggregate demand and the scope for firms to increase the prices of their goods and services. When this happens across a large number of businesses and sectors, this leads to an increase in inflation.

Detailed explanation-5: -In an inflationary environment, unevenly rising prices inevitably reduce the purchasing power of some consumers, and this erosion of real income is the single biggest cost of inflation. Inflation can also distort purchasing power over time for recipients and payers of fixed interest rates.
