Deflation alarm may jar ECB into keeping pace with Fed :Mike DolanWith deflation alarms ringing again at the European Central Bank, August’s price shock piles pressure on it to ape the Federal Reserve’s looser inflation goal and possibly earmark even more easing down the line.If the ECB does nothing, currency markets pushing the euro to its highest level in more than two years against the dollar may cause another headache for the bloc’s policymakers by stoking deflation fears as sovereign and private debts soar.Although economic indicators have been erratic at best during the COVID-19 pandemic, Tuesday’s surprise showing the first headline contraction of eurozone consumer prices since 2016 was sobering, not least for financial markets.Annual euro zone inflation fell by 0.2% in August, confounding forecasts for a modest gain. The ECB’s favored measure of annual ‘core’ inflation, which removes volatile energy and unprocessed food, more than halved to just 0.6%.Yet, instead of taking this as a trigger for further ECB easing measures as soon as its policy meeting next week, the euro edged higher against an ailing dollar, topping $1.20 for the first time in more than two years.ECB board member Isabel Schnabel, in an interview with Reuters on Monday, played down the euro’s 4% trade-weighted rise this year, adding that she was “not worrying too much about exchange rate developments”.What’s more, Schnabel said dollar losses tend to lift global trade and growth and this could compensate euro zone firms.APEING THE FED?But the main reason for the dollar’s latest slide was last week’s Fed move to change its strategic policy goal, effectively viewing its 2% inflation target as an average over time and allowing it to tolerate periods of above-target inflation.Of course, the Fed will have its work cut out to get inflation up close to target, never mind back above it. Core inflation was just 1.3% in July and even 10-year inflation assumptions baked into inflation protected Treasuries are still a quarter percentage point below the magic 2%.All of which means markets assume Fed interest rates will be zero for more than five years at least and it will continue to buy bonds to suppress long-term yields too. U.S. 10-year inflation-adjusted Treasury yields returned to historic lows of -1.1% this week as a result - below euro zone equivalents for the first time in seven years.For fund managers such as PIMCO, aggressive Fed settings alongside successful action to ease global credit stress during the pandemic both eroded the dollar’s multi-year yield advantage as well as its ‘safety’ bid. More losses beckon, they reckon.“Any broad-based decline in the dollar is highly likely to lead to appreciation of the euro,” PIMCO strategist Gene Frieda and global portfolio management head Sachin Gupta wrote on Tuesday.And if the Fed has given itself strategic cover to keep policy rates near zero and Treasury borrowing rates affordable for years to come, then a stark relative inflation picture together with rising euro exchange rate will further nudge the ECB in the same direction.It may not be ‘currency wars’, but it has similar elements.Schnabel was keen to avoid easy comparisons, saying: “What is best for the Fed is not necessarily the best for the ECB”.But as pandemic support sends government debt soaring above 100% of gross domestic product on both sides of the Atlantic this year and next, the last thing they need is embedded price deflation that only lifts the real cost of that debt over time.Deutsche Bank expects the ECB to use up its entire 1.35 trillion euro pandemic bond buying programme, or PEPP, by the middle of next year and adopt a Fed-like explicit 2% “symmetric” inflation target after its own strategic review in 2021.And even then, Deutsche doubted it would hit that inflation target over its forecast horizon and expects the ECB will eventually increase its standing asset purchase programme again.Others go further. Estimating the euro’s trade-weighted exchange rate rise could lop another 0.4-0.5 percentage points off euro zone inflation by the end of 2020, Saxo Bank economist Christopher Dembik said: “We still expect that the PEPP envelope will be increased again by year-end.”The ECB may well choose to look the other way this month given the huge stimulus it’s already engaged in. But if the euro continues to rise from here, it will be hard to ignore for long.
El paro aumenta en casi 30.000 personas en un agosto atípicoEl ritmo de sectores como la sanidad o la hostelería suavizan el aumento del paro en un verano marcado por la recuperación tras la pandemia de coronavirusEl número de parados aumentó en 29.780 personas en el mes de agosto hasta alcanzar los 3.802.814 inscritos en toda España. Se trata de la menor subida de los últimos cuatro años, un registro marcado por la mejora en actividades como la sanidad o la hostelería tras la crisis provocada por la pandemia del coronavirus.Esa ligera recuperación también se ha notado en el volumen de afiliados de la Seguridad Social que ha crecido en 6.822 personas en el último mes, hasta alcanzar un total de 18.792.376.

BOJ's Wakatabe hails Fed's new target as 'historical' decisionThe U.S. Federal Reserve’s adoption of an average inflation target is a “historical” decision but more time is needed to gauge the impact on other central banks’ policies, Bank of Japan Deputy Governor Masazumi Wakatabe said on Wednesday.“The Fed has set a new target. But for monetary policy, there is always the question on what tools and communication means a central bank has to achieve its goal,” Wakatabe told an online news conference.“As such, we’d like to cautiously examine what effect the creation of the target could have” on the economy, he said.

Cita de: Hynkel en Septiembre 01, 2020, 09:10:56 am...Y esto entronca con lo que dicen algunos historiadores, que los cambios sociales vienen dados principal y básicamente por cambios tecnológicos (y añado también: circunstancias catastróficas), y todo lo demás son adornos y épica que nos montamos los seres humanos alrededor de esa dinámica.Una interpretación alternativa de esto es que aquí no cambia nada hasta que ocurre a la fuerza. Cada vez estoy más convencido de que el ciclo siempre es el mismo: tecnología que posibilita algo / catástrofe catalizadora -> resistencia al cambio -> crisis/conflicto -> nueva realidad

Y si analizo a los adalides de la telecosa, creo que en realidad lo que hacen es comparar una buena solución telemática frente a nefastas soluciones presenciales.-Tengo mucho tiempo en desplazamientos.-El trabajo está lleno de reuniones inútiles, interrupciones constantes de compañeros insufribles y powerpointistas engominados paseando por los pasillos haciendo ruido con las llaves del audi...-Clases masificadas, profesores que pasan.
