How In The World Did Inflation Fall So Fast? July 30, 2023

Locator: 45247ECON.
Updates

Others are now asking the same question. I've been asking it for quite some time. With regard to this question, I've been impressed with the lack of intellectual curiosity. I think JPow gets it. Almost no one else did.


Recent good news on inflation has ignited a debate over how much central banks’ interest-rate increases are responsible.

The answer matters for where inflation and interest rates are headed. The Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank in the past week lifted their benchmark interest rates to 22-year highs and left the door open to additional increases.

If higher rates weren’t responsible for the progress on inflation to date, that suggests central banks may be able to lower them before a painful recession sets in.

Central banks generally see their influence on inflation coming through higher rates damping the demand for goods, services and workers, which leads to higher unemployment. That in turn puts downward pressure on prices and wages.

Only the second part of that sequence has occurred. Inflation fell to 3% in the U.S. in June, according to the Fed’s preferred gauge, the personal-consumption expenditures price index, down from 7% one year earlier. Yet the unemployment rate, at 3.6% in June, has held steady for the past year.

In the eurozone, inflation declined to 5.5% in June, the lowest level in nearly 18 months, and unemployment has drifted to the lowest in more than 25 years.

There are competing explanations for this.

One camp argues that inflation has been mostly driven by supply shocks that are going away on their own—much as a postwar surge in the late 1940s unwound by itself. The ripple effects gave the illusion of broader, more persistent price increases.

Take the auto market. Sellers weren’t able to meet pent-up demand two years ago, leading to huge price increases, which in turn spawned higher prices later on for car repairs and auto insurance.

Similarly, a surge in household formation during the pandemic sent up housing prices and rents.

The first camp attributes most of the recent decline in inflation to the ebbing of these one-time supply disruptions, not rate increases, which are supposed to work through the labor market. “It’s calling into question a lot of the old assumptions,” said Lindsay Owens, executive director at the Groundwork Collaborative, a liberal think tank.

And it would have fallen even faster had it not been for "greedflation." Which, by the way, continues, particularly in the EV sector. Having said that, this is not so much "greedflation" as simply doing what it takes to avoid bankruptcy.

Recession obsession: we all agree. There will be a recession.

Market overbought?


Some folks (e.g., Bloomberg) are now concerned that the market is overbought after recent huge gains.  It might help to note that one company accounted for the Dow's entire first-half gains.

You may want to read that and let that sink in: one company accounted for the Dow's entire first-half gains.

And, then, look at this:
Six names have made up 98% of its advance since June, according to DataTrek: Goldman Sachs, UnitedHealth, Boeing, Home Depot, Amgen, and Salesforce. Through the first half of the year, Goldman, UnitedHealth, and Amgen were among the index's worst performers. The first two are the two highest-weighted stocks in the index.
