Today’s #CPI report for May showed another very firm depiction of where #inflation currently resides in the U.S., with #coreCPI (excluding volatile food and energy components) printing at 0.44% month-over-month and 5.33% year-over-year.
Meanwhile, #headlineCPI data printed 0.12% month-over-month and came in just above 4% year-over-year, with declines in #energy components and some food prices being offset by gains in #shelter and used cars and trucks.
Overall, headline #inflation does appear to be moderating at a faster pace and we believe that the trend in inflation (despite the firmness of core measures in today’s report) is broadly heading in the right direction, relative to the @federalreserve’s inflation target.

All of these versions involve #inflation or wages and UR.

wage growth = LT wage growth - f(UR) + inflation expectations
f(UR) - function of unemployment rate
High #inflation leads to higher #inflation expectations.
With higher expected #inflation workers demand higher wages.
Hence companies are forced to raise consumer prices.

By "into pain", they are primarily referring to their dual mandate of price stability (#inflation) and maximum #Employment.
But there is not much pain showing up in the job market.
Last weekly jobless claims hit a 5-month low.

So to summarize, #TheFed has 2 jobs:
1. Reduce #inflation (not done)
2. Maximize #employment (done)
And they've been adamant about raising #rates until 1. is done, even at temporary setbacks to 2.
Unless they plan on pulling a #BoE, anything short of #75bps/#100bps is hopium.

2/ The problem with #inflation is that it's a very personal experience.
As I always say, the wallet is the most sensitive organ in the body, so my inflation might not be your inflation.
In fact, my inflation could be seen as #disinflation by you... (more on that later)

3/ Price inflation and monetary inflation have different definitions:
* For many.- #inflation is the increased prices paid for goods & services.
** To others.- it's a decline in the purchasing power of your #money.
*** In layman's terms.- Too much money chasing too few goods.

Let me start by saying, regardless of the mkt expecting it, hiking 75 next week is a mistake.
Actually any hike is a mistake.
How can I say this when many have said (including the #Fed lately) that hikes need to be more aggressive in order to "kill" the #inflation?

Many still seem to neglect the fact that monetary policy works with a lag.
It takes time for the #Fed rate change to be absorbed through the system (transmission mechanism).
How long does it take?
Estimates range anywhere from 6M to 1.5 yrs.
