Disinflation has been in full force since we received the November 2022 CPI data in Dec’22.
Here’s the data to support my view:
• YoY energy prices will be negative through at least June'23
• YoY shelter will start to decelerate by June'23
• Median & trimmed-mean CPI & PCE are decelerating
• Credit creation is decelerating
• Nominal wage growth is decelerating
• Supply chains have eased
• Consumer is slowing down
• Effective federal funds rate > YoY Core PCE
• The Fed is still hiking, and the brunt of the rate hikes haven’t had their full material impact on the economy/financial system.
• Deflationary pressure from banking concerns
• Peak fiscal spending is behind us
• COVID Medicaid benefits expire soon
• Student loan payments to resume soon
