Inflation charted, exposed - it’s not your granddaddy inflation
by Andy Bebut, Friday, August 29, 2008, in Finance, Economics |
Permalink
|Comments (0)  
This week we’ve got some inflation numbers and I invite you to dissect them a little bit.The GDP price index was reported to be 1.2%, which gave us a very election-friendly 3.3% growth. The personal consumption expenditure came with 2.4% Y/Y inflation attached. And if we dig back into latest CPI report the headline inflation was 5.6% and core inflation 2.5%. So we have 4 different numbers, enough to get confused.Let see the first chart. (more…) To discuss this, or any issues pertaining to the economy and the financial markets, visit our new forum.
News That Couldn’t Be Worse - Professional Edition Fed Report

The Fed added modestly to Primary Dealer trading accounts on Friday, driving the 5 day net add to more than $17 billion to help the dealers cope with settling a mind boggling $67 billion in new Treasury paper settling over the week that began Wednesday and will end on Tuesday. Meanwhile, banks bellied up to the Discount Window bar again, Primary Dealers continued to tell the Fed thanks but no thanks, to the PDCF, and foreign central banks bought Treasuries, but sold GSE paper for the 6th week in a row. The FCB subsidy of US mortgage markets is ending, and that is very bad news indeed. Click here to download complete report in pdf format (Professional Edition Subscribers).

The Bush Administration put on an impressive display on Thursday morning with its revised GDP number; a show designed to counter the love story with fireworks and marching bands extravaganza coming out of Denver. The market took the bait hook line and sinker. It didn’t hurt that the Fed has pumped $18 billion in cash into the market over the past week at a time when the Treasury market didn’t need it, thanks to the fright to safety. So stocks surged, but they did not break out, and at this point at least nothing has changed in the intermediate outlook.

Surprise Package - Professional Edition Fed Report

The Fed stepped in with another big liquidity push for the third time this week as it sought to help the market absorb $67 billion in new Treasury supply. The market didn’t need the help, however, as the panic flight of capital into Treasuries took the pressure to absorb all the paper off the Primary Dealers shoulders. That allowed them to put the cash from the Fed to work in the stock market, triggering a short squeeze and buying stampede into which they were almost certainly distributing. The blast got ignition from a government show print on the GDP number, which we all know will get revised down sharply after the election. The great theater in Denver has the Administration running scared, and they came up with a nice surprise package in response.

China picks hyperinflation

Apparently China is making some additional steps that could destabilize its financial system and lead to hyperinflation. For reference, I will also use the materials from this podcast, where Joseph Brusuelas, chief economist at Merk Investments LLC is discussing his impressions from the forum in Jackson Whole.Back in July I wrote that the economic problems there are mounting. Since then, the story developed. The Telegraph report claims that China just performed a currency intervention of about $50 bln, and apparently for a reason.China’s PMI purchasing managers index fell below 50 for the first time in July, signaling an outright contraction in manufacturing output. Hong Kong’s economy contracted 1.4pc in the second quarter. The Politburo has rushed through special rebates for textile producers now caught in a ferocious downturn. […]“During the first half of this year, about 67,000 small and medium-sized companies went bankrupt throughout China, leaving more than 20m people out of work,” said the National Development and Reform Commission. “Bankruptcies of textile and spinning companies have numbered more than 10,000. Two thirds are on the brink of bankruptcy.” (more…) To discuss this, or any issues pertaining to the economy and the financial markets, visit our new forum.

The Fed did a big $5.5 billion net add today bringing the 5 day net to an add of $10.25 billion. That was as expected as the Fed greases the skids for $61 billion in new Treasury paper issuance. The Treasury’s 2 year note auction went off at a lower yield than last month, but the bid/cover ratio was down, and so was the level of indirect bidding. The Fannie spread also widened slightly, which could be an indication of reduced FCB interest. The Treasury holds a 5 year note auction tomorrow.Due to technical issues, a detailed Fed report will not be posted today, but Professional Edition subscribers can access today’s Radio Free Wall Street podcast in lieu of the usual Fed report.

The Treasury is hitting the market with another record level of new supply this week.

He mentioned the paradox of thrift, which I discussed in my previous post. The second paradox he mentioned is the “paradox of delevering”. In short, when the whole financial industry is trying to delever at the same time it is similar to the prisoner dilemma. When everybody is trying to sell assets at the same time, those assets will lose value at the speed sufficient to effectively prevent the leverage from declining.

“Neither borrower nor lender be.” Good advice, but not when it’s your business. Primary Dealers continued to refrain from using the Fed’s Primary Dealer Credit Facility, but Discount Window borrowings rose again, and are nearing the all time record set in July. Meanwhile, remarkably low rates on T-bills, Fed funds and OMO repos suggest that most institutions are in liquidation mode, not borrowing mode. As a result, the Fed hasn’t needed to add reserves to the system to maintain Fed Funds at 2%. Click here to download complete report in pdf format (Professional Edition Subscribers).

The starting point of this discussion is a perfect paper by one of my favorite economists, David Rosenberg. Here’s what he’s saying about the savings rate:Need to see the savings rate go to eight percentWith the Bank of Japan and the operations they conducted back in the 1990s, this is just stuff to consider for the future. Let me just say that a savings rate of 8% would leave me feeling very good about the fact that we would have gone to a level of pent-up demand that would help us embark on the next bull market and economic expansion. That’s going to take quite a bit of time. This is a process. This a process we’re talking, even after the recession ends, that’s going to be an elongated recovery, as there was in the early 1990s, after that asset cycle. Remember, the recession might have ended in November 2001, but that did not give you a “get out of jail free” card as an equity investor, and certainly the recovery was a good two years away, even if the recession technically ended at the end of 2001. I’m talking about the markers that will turn me bullish for the next cycle. An eight percent savings rate, to me, would be a very critical launching pad.

There was little newsworthy on the Fed and Treasury front. This is a light calendar week for the Treasury, and the Fed seemingly took a day off. What was noticeable was the drop in a variety of overnight and very short term interest rates. Considering that the Fed took $17 billion off the table over the last 5 days, and both Fed Funds, OMO stopout rates, and 1 day CP rates all dropped, there would seem to be an absolute absence of borrowing by financial players. That suggests aggressive liquidation across all financial asset classes. Click here to download complete report in pdf format (Professional Edition Subscribers).
