The Fed Minutes Add New Humility and Flexibility
Alan ReynoldsTheMay 3 –4 Minutes of the Federal Open Market Committee earned a welcome relief rally from stock and bond investors, which includes nearly everyone with an IRA or 401(k) retirement account. Why? In my judgement it was because FOMC participants sounded more pragmatic and humbler about predicting and managing the unknowable future. Specifically, the FOMC no longer seemed so rigidly committed to a fixed schedule of routine half ‐point or larger increases in the federal funds rate from June through December. In place of the mid‐March introduction of annual central planning, the Minutes now s...

Core Commodity Price Inflation Was Zero in March and April
Alan ReynoldsThe Producer Price Index (PPI)is not a measure of inflation in the cost of living. It estimates pricesbusinesses receive, not prices consumers pay. Importantly, it includes soaringexport prices for U.S. on food and energy, which had already risen 4.5% in the month of March, 3% in February, and 2.8% in January due to sudden global scarcity in the wake of the Russian war and sanctions.The PPI “increased 0.5 percent in April…[partly because] construction increased 4.0 percent, whileprices for final demand services were unchanged. ” “The indexes for final demand trade services and for final demand servic...

U.S. Gasoline Prices Depend on Global Oil Markets — Not “Independence”
Alan ReynoldsI still have a 1979 bookmark that says, “INFLATION IS A PAIN IN THE GAS.”Funny but wrong. U.S. gasoline prices follow gyrations in world oil markets, which depend on global (not domestic) supply and demand.What actually happened in 1978 –80, an important German study from Bruegel reminds us, was the Iranian revolution and the Iran ‐Iraq War: “The 1978 Iranian revolution decreased global supply by 4 percent and led to a price increase of 57 percent. The 1980 Iran‐Iraq war decreased global supply by 4 percent and led to a price increase of 45 percent.”What happened to world oil market...

Distinguishing Home ‐Grown Inflation from Global Inflation
Alan ReynoldsEach country imagines inflation to be anational problem to be entirely blamed on national fiscal authorities or on each nation ' s central bank. Yet March CPI inflation averaged 8.8% for all 38 countries in theOECD, and 7.8% for the 27 EU countries.Economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, in theFRBSF Economic Letter, ask a narrower question: "Why is U.S. Inflation Higher Than in Other Countries?" They first begin by acknowledging that there have been some uniquely huge global events driving world pricesdownin 2020 (COVID-19 lockdowns causing long-term loss of productive capacity) and other po...

The Fed ’s Unplanned Soft Landing of 2018–19
Alan ReynoldsFederal Reserve officials spentmonths talking ‐up their visions of a linear upward path for the overnight federal funds rate on bank reserves, but with few clues about when the increase might stop or why.But markets do not wait for the Fed to act. The policy ‐making Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) had done nothing until now except to raise the fed funds rate a quarter point in March. Yet they nonetheless managed to double mortgage interest rates and crash the value of bonds and stocks in retirement accounts by simply talking increasingly bold ly about what FOMC members “project” might happ...

Core PCE Inflation Has Been Slowing Down
Alan ReynoldsCore inflation slowed substantially in February and March to less than 0.3% a month (.029%). The core personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index rose more slowly this March than it did a year ago (as shown by the blue bars in the graph).The backward ‐lookingyear ‐to‐year price change nonetheless still appeared misleadingly high this March (5.2%) because of rapid price increaseslast year– during the second and fourth quarters.The red line in the graph projects that if the February to March monthly pace continues for the next three months, the year ‐to‐year increase in co...

GDP Inflation Includes Food, Energy and Export Prices
Alan ReynoldsAWall Street Journal editorial, “Rumors of Stagflation, ” describes accelerating inflation in the first quarter GDP report: “The GDP decline … coincided with an accelerating rise in prices. The GDP price index rose at an 8% annual rate on top of 7.1% in the previous quarter. The Fed’s preferred inflation measure, personal consumption expenditures , rose 7%, when its target is 2%.”The Fed ’s preferred inflation measure is really the “core” personal consumption index which excludes some but not all food and energy prices. The Core PCE was up 5.2% in the first quarter, nearly the same as 5% in t...
