OTD in 2008, soon after I invaded Georgia, I was interviewed by Germany's biggest TV channel ARD in which I said I recognize all of Ukraine’s borders, including Crimea.

3 days later we claimed a “sphere of influence” that includes Ukraine.

Who’s the Fed official who has penciled in the same GDP growth forecast at 2.4%-2.5% for 2025-2027? At potential, no changes vs December.

Guesses welcome :)

Preliminary estimates of the January PCE inflation figures, which will probably change after the January PPI release on Thursday morning, currently project core PCE at around 0.36% (it was 0.50% one year earlier).

That would raise the 6-month annualized rate but lower the 12-month to 2.7%

Post PPI & CPI reports, we look for core PCE inflation to stay largely in check at 0.20% m/m in December.

More importantly, core PCE inflation is expected to have averaged 0.19% m/m over the July-December period -already at spitting distance from the 2% target.

Governor Waller is onto something.

Following today’s PPI numbers, core PCE inflation is likely to print 0.14% m/m in Nov - lowest m/m gain in 2024 @nicktimiraos.bsky.social

Also, not concerned about claims. Today’s jump mostly due to seasonality. Tracking the 2019 nsa data very closely.

Economists who produce detailed inflation forecasts expect the November CPI to show that core prices rose about the same as in October, up 0.27% to hold the 12-month rate at 3.3%

The median forecast has headline CPI rising to 2.7% from 2.6%.

If you’re slightly concerned by this week’s increase in jobless claims, wait for the market reaction next week when it rises to ~240k :)

Mostly seasonal noise.

Okay but didn't she just vote in favor of the most recent rate cut?

Following today’s CPI report we look for PCE prices to rise 0.22% m/m and 0.25% for the core in Oct. We will finalize our forecast after PPI data tomorrow.

Another 25bp rate reduction is still in the cards for December though Nov data (CPI/PCE, jobs) will have the last word.
