Inflation, What Inflation?

by January 28, 2023
by January 28, 2023

We typically have a song or two in my head. After all, watching ticks is musical and has a lot of different beats.

And typically, those songs turn into parodies.

For this past week, the first song was sealed in our brains after Tesla’s extraordinary run. And then again after Friday’s PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditure) numbers were released. Core PCE excludes food and energy. PCE includes health care, education, haircuts, hospitality and more, accounts for about 50% of consumption. Powell has called it “the most important category for understanding the future evolution of core inflation.”

The first song? Reasons to be Cheerful 1,2,3 by Ian Dury and The Blockheads.

So, we got 1 (Tesla) and 2 (Softer Inflation) — what is 3?

Reason 3: Note on the chart that the Fed Funds rate is now inline with the Core PCE rate.

Powell should be doing a happy dance as this gives him the ammo to…. direct us to the next song, When Doves Cry by Prince. 

However, as doves fly, so will inflation….the ultimate conundrum we have been writing about (see the Outlook 2023).

Pretty significant bounce in lumber prices. You see our dear readers, as rates soften, as Fed pauses, as markets rally, as consumers spend money, as as as… 

Commodities wake up. It’s a vicious cycle. A simple economic formula of supply and demand.

Our Big View tool is invaluable in showing you the ratios among all the commodities and inflation ratios. Many raw materials remain in low supply. Copper, lithium, sugar, steel, to name a few. And speaking of sugar, on Friday, the price closed above 21 cents a pound. CANE, the Sugar Fund ETF closed on a new yearly high.

In 1972, supply shortfalls and rising demand, along with the devaluation of the dollar, all contributed to a large increase in the price of sugar. By February of 1974, with rising inflation, rising demand, and the perception of imminent shortages, sugar prices spiked to over 65¢ in November.

Now in 2023, there is speculation that smaller sugar output in India will force the country not to allow additional sugar exports. Furthermore, reduced sugar production in Europe may force European sugar and food manufacturers to import sugar, leading to tighter global supplies. 

If sugar is a barometer and mirror of the 1970’s, well here’s a bonus song for you all — 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins. “That we don’t even care as restless as we are..”
