Lift Your Gaze, Please: the April Inflation Overshoot is Not the Problem

"A betting man, if he wants to remain a betting man, updates his priors. So, I side with Jason Bloom at the asset manager Invesco: 'There is so much dislocation in the economy from the reopening and base effects from a year ago that it will take at least six to 12 months before we get a clear view of the underlying inflation trend.' I will make a different sort of prediction, though: no matter what the future holds, the Chickens will be there to squawk about it." ~ Joakim Book
