Fed’s Miran: Falling home prices will drive disinflation

Forex Short News
  • There is no discernible difference from higher core goods than elsewhere
  • Border policy in recent years has been a big driver of shelter prices
  • Now we have negative net migration so I’m expecting that to exert quite a lot of disinflation
  • Acknowledges being low end of dot plot
  • Says he will give a full accounting of dissent in a speech on Monday

Miran thinks that falling home prices are going to offset stronger economic growth to drive inflation lower.

  • It’s silly to say I’m just doing the bidding of the White House
  • The longer Fed policy stays restrictive, the greater the risk to job market
  • I think H2 will have stronger growth but implications for mon pol are not very big
  • My dot isn’t so far from everyone else’s next year
  • I’m clearly in the minority in not being concerned about inflation from tariffs

Miran’s argues that tariffs are a one-off increase yet he also argues that 1.5 million migrants leaving the country isn’t a one-off.
