US Inflation Expectations Hit Post-Lehman Lows Ahead Of FOMC
In what appears perfect timing, US inflation expectations (as measure by the market) have plunged to post-Lehman plunge lows - falling further even after The ECB unleashed Q€ last week... we are sure The Fed will be 'patient' and dismiss this as a good dis-inflationary trend that is merely 'transitory' but isn't it ironic...
US Inflation expectations hit post-Lehman lows...
and then the IMF comes out and says...
- *ECB QE KEY TO COMBATING DEFLATION RISK, IMF OFFICIAL SAYS
Which appears to be an utter failure in that regard...

BULLISH!! Markets are going to finish up 200-300 pts. today all because of the vomit that comes out of the FEDs mouth. ugh!!
Yeah, buy the fucking sick ;-)
I'm "importing deflation" like a mo-fo from Europe right now.
I dunno know about that.
The last few press conferences by Yellin' were bad enough with her fumbling, contradictions and confusion that the "swalk" market wound up going down after a short while.
Gets tough to say anything pertaining to reality when you're all in with no next steps left in the toolkit.
NIRP?
That's not a tool or step.
If it's that bad, it's a sign of desperation.
"Daddy, what's a trading floor?"
I love deflation and cash is my spirit animal.
Just got back from the grocery store. Where is all this Deflation? Also have to pay my Healthcare Premium and am still looking for the $2500 annual savings 0zer0 promised.
More like 2000-3000 points. Today has to be the day it's obvious to all there will never be rate hikes.
Let's see...It's 1:56pm. I'd expect the algos to get the inside information in 3...2...1...
ECB combating deflation? not for USD's it appears.
Baltic Sea Index down below 700.
Yup 666..Sell AUD,ASX,...
Foods still expensive but Dr Paul Krugman doesn't notice. His country club BLT's still taste the same.
what i would pay to make him a BLT. i would make it the tyler durden way.
Does he eat prok?
What does a a hypocrite not do?
this sentence sums up US (demand) nicely
Horse's Mouth:
"At 406.7 million barrels, U.S. crude oil inventories are at the highest level for this time of year in at least the last 80 years."

QE only fixed bankbalance sheets. this is the most obvious evidence of flawed trickle-down-economics there is.
instead of "tanks in the streets", we got TANKERS in ther streets. lmfao
That's because we're now energy independent!!!
Sarcasm aside, I don't think many people are driving anymore unless it's absolutely necessary (work, school, etc.). I go to Walmart about once a month, and it's always dead now. I've never seen the parking lot as empty as it's become over the last year or so. People are trying to save money any way they can, and cutting back on driving is one of those ways. The economy is limping along, with GDP propped up by health care spending. That should scare the shit out of most rational people, but the talking heads on TV are far from rational.
Think it through.
Tanks run on oil, aircraft run on oil, armies run on oil. China stockpiles, Russia doesn't have to, the US runs up it's inventories.
Bombs away, baby!
holy shit u have a good point
I like to buy a hedonically adjusted flat screen teevee every week to serve the kids for dinner.
Free money can't cause inflation when it goes to the parasite banks/corporations/insurers.
Janet, if you want inflation, send me my $3 Million tax free bailout ASAP.
"US inflation expectations (as measure by the market) have plunged to post-Lehman plunge lows - falling further even after The ECB unleashed Q€ last week"
one of these days ... the "experts" might get a clue
ZIRP/QE disinflationary ... deflationary when asset bubbles burst (we're at onset)
Maybe Alanis Morissette isn't as stupid as she looks. Many of the things she bemoaned as being ironic were not great examples of irony, so perhaps there is a deeper irony at play...
If oil were to go back down to $20, all of the small and mid-sized companies would be crushed. Big oil buys up the ones they want for pennies on the dollar.
If big oil runs into a problem, then they head straight to D.C. and get bailed out by the taxpayer.
Those were my sentiments. Standard Oil did it a different way at the turn of the century, but the end result is the same. Big Fish eat the slowly dying little fish.
Markets are green so the word must have been put out that the FED will raise rates in 2020 depending...
Strangely docile for being an FOMC day https://www.google.com/finance?chdnp=1&chdd=1&chds=1&chdv=1&chvs=maximized&chdeh=0&chfdeh=0&chdet=1422478800000&chddm=510.00000000000005&chls=IntervalBasedLine&cmpto=NASDAQ:XIV&cmptdms=0&q=NASDAQ:ZIV&ntsp=1&ei=4zDJVN6YCo20sQelsoHICw
Low oil prices are deflationary...until they aren't. Sure, in the short term prices of most things will go down, but eventually the lower input costs will cause the economy to heat up, causing prices to go back up again. Once the Fed digests all the data from Q1 and Q2 they will be forced to raise rates in Q3...just my opinion.
I have noticed that nothing costs more than it did a few years ago.
Wait, the 5y5y turned negative in 2012?
