[10:05] they came into the year with inflation core PCE falling to mid twos or 2.5 or 2.6 at the end of this year and now it looks like it will be closer to three or even higher than slightly higher than 3%.

[11:51] I think Wall Street has very well priced in a peak inflation in for May. So what you have shown here is the May CPI print and if you look at the fixing it's pricing in a declining a disinflating year-over-year. So markets think that May is the peak. We also have have been saying that May is the peak. So inflation will be falling.

[8:21] I can't imagine that May is not going to come in a good bit higher. I'm talking about maybe four and a quarter or higher and then and then you probably go to four and a half or maybe four and three/4ers by the time you get to the fall.

We may go to 2% temporarily but I expect a real acceleration thereafter. Bottom line is I think inflation volatility is here to stay

[10:50] you know the Federal Reserve may try to lower rates more but they're going to be struggling with sticky to higher inflation. And interestingly also there's a 67month cycle in the unemployment rate and we're also into a rising unemployment trend according to that cycle uh as well that still has some room to run. So yes, we are seeing higher pressures on unemployment and we've been we anticipated those a while ago. So there is pressure for the Fed to lower rates based on higher unemployment, but it's happening in the face of persistent and sticky and probably even rising inflation over the next 12 to 18 months.

Extracted by AI from a YouTube transcript. May be inaccurate or missing context. Verify via source. Send a correction.

[3:59] We are still in a downward trajectory for inflation and the reason for that is that inflation is always an everywhere a monetary phenomenon. So you have to look at what was going on a couple years ago with the money supply to get some idea of what's going to be happening with inflation today or tomorrow. And since the money supply two two and a half years ago was actually contracting, it would indicate that we'd stay on this downward trajectory.

[28:31] So in the next year we shouldn't be concerned about doubledigit inflation or high single not double digit inflation maybe high singledigit inflation coming back. You know people have painful memories of 2020 and 2021. So

[21:54] I think we have a circumstance that resembles very much the decade of the 1970s where according to the Congressional Budget Office, the US dollar lost 75% of its purchasing power. Stated differently, we had several years where the official inflation rate in the United States was in double digits, compounded.

Extracted by AI from a YouTube transcript. May be inaccurate or missing context. Verify via source. Send a correction.

[6:26] I would expect inflation to continue to creep higher, not just because of Trump's tariffs. There's other factors here. We talked about the deportations having an impact as well. But also, I would just point out is that one of the biggest drivers about a year ago of inflation was the stock market. And the stock market was at all-time highs. We had the big correction in March into April. We're now back at all-time highs. So, the wealth effect, people are feeling that again. They're feeling well. they look at their 401ks up 25% since April. That's a huge move that makes people want to go out and spend u on goods for instance new TVs etc. And so I think that that can also play a role here. So I think a combination of all those things that I mentioned you will see inflation continue to hold up. Again I don't expect a massive spike unless new high tariffs of 30% go into play. But is it going to stay stubbornly around 3% inflation? I actually do think so.

[25:10] this is probably, you know, a later second half story before we can really uh make a good case or or or a good judgment about whether or not higher tariffs is actually flowing through to domestic prices. That being said, the idea that there's going to, you know, the idea there's going to be a sort of a more significant, you know, wage spiral or inflationary spiral here, we're it's probably not going to happen. And so, you know, it's almost certainly not going to happen. We're talking about 50 or 100 basis points on core PCE at the most in terms of the flow through of the tariffs
