We continue to expect inflation to remain sluggish over the medium term, especially on an underlying basis, because weaker aggregate demand and a higher unemployment rate should reduce any upward pressures on prices. As a result, we're considerably more likely to end 2021 with core PCE inflation still below 2%, and very likely below 1.75% as well. The new inflation framework should guide the Fed to keep interest rates low until inflation dynamics have shown credible evidence that inflation is sustainably achieving the symmetric 2% goal, which will keep rates at the zero lower bound through the end of 2021 (our forecast horizon).
我发一篇3月20几号为担心通胀的中坛同学写的写的。今天更新一下:因为QE担心通胀,本国货币下跌不是没根据的,特别是有些地方08年放的还没有完全收回来,只是说目前没有迹象,欧洲日本澳洲还是通缩风险大于通胀。各国央行当然清楚不断QE的后果,所以政策是会随时调整的,大家也随时观察吧。
没时间多聊,简单科普一下为什么欧美澳新目前的QE不会导致通货膨胀。尽量不用教科书语言,不用看经济书,想想就能明白。
大家讲的印钱其实是QE,就是央行买债券,增加现金的供应、流动性,和一战时期德国印刷机印钱不一样的。恐慌中有几个互相影响的现象1)大家都藏钱不用钱,有些人真会取钱藏床底下 2)失业 3)银行坏账增加,资产价格下降,储备不达标,这时也必须筹现金而不是用于出借业务。这三个现象互相影响,恶性循环,以至于对物资的需求减少、物价下降,最终导致现金枯竭,通缩风险。这个时候,如果央行利率已是零了,而负利率相当有害,只能用QE来增加现金流动。因为通缩危险、现金枯竭进行的QE不会导致通胀。这样一轮一轮地QE直到银行民众不藏钱了,开始用了,通胀就开始了,这时美联储就要开始卖债券,将现金收回,涨利息。
下面是华尔街某大行此周研究报告里关于美国通胀的一段,我抄在这里:

I bought large position of ITM around $37. FED purchases bonds as first step was highly expected.
