Will peace continue? Manoj Pradhan, former managing director of Morgan Stanley in charge of global economics and founder of Talking Heads Mac Mac Economics, said in a presentation hosted by fund manager Tabala Investment Management that inflation would intensify only when the Federal Reserve expects it to cool. , Next year.
The minister argued that the breakdown of the Phillips curve – the traditional relationship that shows rising inflation as unemployment declines – is due to China’s entry into the global labor force. But he said demographic information and the COVID-19 epidemic would fix it.
First, for demographic information. U.S. And the aging of the developed world’s population will mean the loss of workers, and the aging of the population is also driving up government spending. The minister has also noted that he has worked hard to take care of the elderly. “We need technology to destroy jobs in other parts of the economy so that the wages it represents can be restored to the same level of skills, in the care of the elderly.”
In the epidemic. Now, he said, the money supply signals are “the most extreme signals you’ve ever seen.” Now that doesn’t translate to inflation, as the pace of money has broken down, and savings rates have risen, both functions of consumers are off at home. Citing research from the European Central Bank, the minister said the increase in savings was “compelling” rather than “cautious”.
As the economy normalizes, mandatory savings will act as a delayed stimulus. Even now, the housing market is on fire, with prices rising around the world. “This is a way to spend that could also pull in some extra labor,” he said. But official inflation measures do not see an increase in house prices.
The Fed is already trying to overcome the challenge of incoming inflation readings, which could show a year-on-year gain of 3.5% to 4%, in May and June. “I will tell you that anything above 3.5% -4% will cause a significant breakdown in the relationship. [between stocks and bonds]”For the last 30 years, people in advanced economies have not seen inflation on a large scale,” he said.
“The real challenge will come in 2022, when a lot will be spent on goods or houses, with fiscal consolidation accelerating even more,” he said. It expects the yield curve to move forward, and if the Fed applies another operation twist or controls the yield curve, it will push inflation further.
Asset returns are predicted to be difficult, inequality will decrease but against the backdrop of weak growth and the central bank’s independence will be at increased risk.
