i thought inflation was caused from growing global demand of commodities. and if that's the case, what can the fed really do about inflation??? a weakening dollar and higher inflation, arent those the tradeoffs from globalization?
global demand is the result of weak dollar As it's more affordable to evereyone except US. So it's time to go through healthy recession, Stop being obsessed about consumer spending, support $ and curb demand for commodities
The right way to measure inflation from a trading perspective isn't CPI, it is the spread between TIPs and bonds. That gives you a realtime estimate. That number is approxmiately 2.54%. That is .50% higher than the FEDs comfort zone. nitro
