The Chinese Have Their Own Policy ‘Dots’

By |2021-06-16T19:32:22-04:00June 16th, 2021|Bonds, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

The FOMC’s “hawkish” dots for their June 2021 assessment weren’t an acknowledgement of recent inflation data in the US. That’s how many are characterizing the change, modest as it actually was. Inflation is about emotion in most places, especially when CPI’s and PCE Deflators, a healthy dose of producer prices, all seem to point to an overheating economy on the [...]

Yields, Not Dots; Another Example of Why Inflation Had(s) No Chance

By |2021-06-16T17:19:54-04:00June 16th, 2021|Bonds, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

The FOMC held a meeting and that can only mean dots. These are the individual policymaker’s views on where the federal funds target range might end up down the road. The latest update for the June 2021 central bank conclave shows several more voting members projecting the first rate hikes to begin toward the end of next year, a supposedly [...]

Copper Corroding PPI

By |2021-06-15T16:50:20-04:00June 15th, 2021|Bonds, Commodities, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

Yesterday, lumber. Today, copper. The “doctor” has been in reverse for better than two months now, with trading in the current session pounding the commodity to a new multi-month low. Down almost $0.19 for the day, an unusual and eye-opening loss, this brings the cumulative decline to 9.2% since the peak way back on May 11.Is this just another modest [...]

Lumbering Economy And The Curves Behind Transitory Inflation

By |2021-06-14T19:01:18-04:00June 14th, 2021|Bonds, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

While capital “E” economics can never seem to get out of its own, infatuated with statistics and regressions instead, small “e” economics is proven time and again. Simple supply and demand curves aren’t a realistic simulation of potential conditions, yet they are far more helpful than DSGE models even if highly stylized representations. Take, for example, lumber prices. Anyone remotely [...]

Weekly Market Pulse: Who’s The Boss?

I told you last week that there were strange things going on in the labor market but I had no idea how much of an understatement that really was. Much of last week's economic focus was on the inflation report but I think the JOLTS report may turn out to be more significant. Inflation was indeed pretty hot year over [...]

Global Factors First: Was There A US CPI Today?

By |2021-06-10T19:52:29-04:00June 10th, 2021|Bonds, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

It isn’t all base effects, or even all that much of them. Though these were higher in May 2021 than they had been in April, US consumer prices have accelerated regardless. According to the BLS and its latest CPI estimates, the net change in its headline index last month from last May was an excitable 4.99% (unadjusted). That’s the highest [...]

The Inflation Emotion(s)

By |2021-06-09T19:54:41-04:00June 9th, 2021|Bonds, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

Inflation is more than just any old touchy subject in an age overflowing with crude, visceral debates up and down the spectrum reaching into every corner of life. It is about life itself, and not just quality. When the prices of the goods (or services) you absolutely depend upon go up, your entire world becomes that much more difficult. For [...]

An Entirely Too Familiar American (anti)Inflationary Anecdote

By |2021-06-09T17:27:19-04:00June 9th, 2021|Bonds, Currencies, Economy, Federal Reserve/Monetary Policy, Markets|

One of the more compelling aspects of the last LABOR SHORTAGE!!!!, in an outright contradictory way, was how it was made up of entirely anecdotes. Lacking data, especially wage data, the narrative was instead kept up and alive by the media hyping every small creative innovation companies were using if only to avoid having to actually pay their workers and [...]
