Results of our March shadow survey indicate market participants expect the median rate path to be unchg'd from Dec but a sizeable minority (28%) thinks the 2024 "dot" could be revised higher. The Fed's 2024 core PCE inflation projection lies at the heart of the disagreement. 1/6
There are a ton of so called Macro experts out there with an opinion on the upcoming @federalreserve dot plot. Almost none of these are surgically formed Heres is a surgical approach to it 6 members wrote down 3 2024 dots in Dec SEP. I think these members are: Daly, Barr,…
Market participants fear the March FOMC SEP reveals higher Core PCE forecast for 2024. This is sensible given the market tends to overreact to recent data and January and February Core PCE were high. Extrapolating from these two months for the rest of the year is premature given…

CPI revisions will go a long way for @federalreserve to gain greater confidence - this was a sticking point for them and Powell response on the presser suggested so. We think market consensus was expecting a +0.2% bump in Q4 3m SAAR number and we got about +1.3 bps of revision.…
POWELL: Well, I would say it this way. The economy's strong. The labor market's strong. Inflation's coming down. There's no reason why that can't continue. We're gonna try to use our tools to give the economy -- to continue to improve as inflation comes down. We'll give it every…

Key stat, but unfortunately the BLS new tenant rent index accounts for only about 15% weighting of CPI Rent, and is comprised of <1k unit sample set, so impact to CPI is slow grind.
The BLS's experimental "new tenant rent index" fell again in early 2024, posting the smallest four-quarter increase (+0.4%) since 2010 But the "all tenant" rent index held steady in Q1, rising 5.4%, the same as Q4
@NickTimiraos @SteveMiran Back around pre covid average, but bear in mind renewal % growth can top new lease % growth for short periods of time and still be nominally cheaper than new leases.

They say in politics, liberals are the gas pedal, and conservatives are the brakes, and I'm generally with the gas pedal, but not if we're driving off a cliff.
The U.S. cannot afford to get dragged into another war.

Thought ahead of weekend. Iran will put on a show but fall short of escalating this into a full war, so some geopolitical premium should unwind. I expect a strong print for retail sales. Argues for an unwind in bond move rather than stocks at the margin. Unclear on FX/Commods.
A new institution is born! @The_Budget_Lab is off to a great start with analysis of the expiration of the TCJA and the child tax credit. Next level in going beyond just budget scoring to think about outcomes. I can't wait for more from this all-star group.

But a big part is a loosening in the labor market. My favorite measure of labor market tightness is the number of job openings per unemployed worker. This has fallen as much as it did in the financial crisis. But this time immaculately due to openings down not unemployment up.
CPI inflation peaked at 9% in mid-2022. But no remotely serious person thought that underlying inflation was anything close to that. At the time my rough estimate was that it was 4% or slightly higher, let's call that 4-4.5%. x.com/jasonfurman/st…
My judgmental summary of what underlying inflation is now. My best guess is 4 percent and rising slightly. A recession could knock it down to 3.5 percent. If stabilizing at 3 percent is OK (which Ithink) maybe don't panic. If the Fed is really set on 2.0% then I would be nervous.
Every time we get a hot inflation print people rush to attribute it to a few categories with large increases. It is, indeed, true that if you take out all the big increases you get lower inflation. But also true that if you take all the big decreases you get higher inflation.
