2 Bloomberg: The Bloomberg #Dollar Spot Index’s 2% gain in March has scrambled Wall Street’s playbook for the world’s dominant #reservecurrency. It also risks adding to #inflationary pressures around the world by making oil and food crops — denominated in dollars — even more expensive for importers.

Using a standard macroeconomic model, we find that news about future #AI -driven #productivity gains creates immediate #inflationary demand pressures that warrant a timely monetary policy response, @stlouisfed.bsky.social www.stlouisfed.org/on-the-econo...

In the Iran war, good news is bad news for oil, Canada and our future The longer the conflict continues, the more it’s looking like an act of economic self-harm by the U.S., and Canadians will be collateral damage

“ #OilandGas account for about 1 per cent of #American #GDP, and some 7 per cent in #Canada; any gains that will arise in those relatively small sectors will be more than offset by the #inflationary effects in the rest of the #economy.” www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/24ca038... 🎁🔗

A Wonkish Note on Tariffs and Inflation There isn’t really a puzzle here

“ …underestimate, because the #tariffs have discouraged #imports, which means that their impact on prices should have been larger than their impact on revenue.
But the revenue still serves, as I said, as a first-pass estimate of how much #inflationary impact we’d expect — around 0.8 percent..

Research in #Sydney confirms what economists knew all along:

Once you install an Urban Growth Boundary you skyrocket the value of land within the boundary.

The action, which is often taken on a rationale of #sustainability or exclusion, is inherently #inflationary.

Federal Reserve cuts interest rates by 0.25% for second straight meeting, 2 officials vote against move as shutdown challenges mount The Federal Reserve on Wednesday cut interest rates by 0.25%, the second straight policy meeting in which it has eased monetary policy.

#Fed Federal Reserve again cuts rates while the stock market is at all time highs. This is #INFLATIONARY.

We are already seeing the Trump inflation from trade wars. This action will accelerate inflation.

I guess the voters wanted even higher beef prices, eh?

While the overall #inflation rate sits at 1.9 per cent, the Bank of Canada is finding comfort in its core measures, which have shown easing growth in recent months.

The #inflationary effects of US #tariffs may complicate forecasts for incremental US dollar liquidity. US inflation #swaps imply a peak in #inflation within the next year, suggesting the tariff impulse will prove short-lived, chart #MorganStanley

2 CIBC: Overall, the report shows that core #inflationary pressures are still running hotter than what's consistent with the #Fed's target while #consumers are still enjoying healthy #income gains and a pace of spending despite higher #prices. #usecon #inflation #Fed #PCE

The net result is there is more to the #inflationary story than meets the eye. While #Fed will likely succumb to cutting pressure in Sept, investors should realize that the trajectory for interest rates may not be as aggressively dovish as recent data suggest, chart #JPMorganAM

US businesses, entering the year with elevated #profit #margins, might be absorbing the impact. They could also be #postponing price increases by selling existing inventory ramped up ahead of #tariffs, delaying the #inflationary impact.

Inflationary Weather Why was the economist so relieved after reading the latest inflation report? Because it showed that the economic climate wasn't as stormy as predicted, and there was a chance of... a cooler front!

Oh look, the US economy added 139,000 nonfarm payrolls in May, more than the 126,000 expected by economists.
