Fed’s Miran: Inflation is heading back to target a year from now
Stephen Miran, a member of the Federal Reserve (Fed), said that inflation expectations have not been affected yet by higher Oil prices. He told CNBC on Monday that he is still concerned about the labor market, even though the Fed can accommodate that.
Key takeaways:
No evidence of wage-price spiral.
Seems extremely unlikely.
Inflation expectations not yet affected by higher oil prices.
No evidence of inflation shock from oil.
No sense that other colleagues are moving their position based on oil prices.
Markets are volatile in the middle of a war.
Not inclined to read much into markets.
Still concerned about labor market, Fed can accommodate that.
Wage growth has been coming down, Fed is holding back labor demand inappropriately.
Could be about a point easier, over the course of the year.
Inflation is heading back to target a year from now."
