| Claudia Sahm: Stop Applying My Recession Rule to Individual States Posted: March 27, 2024 at 06:00 AM (Wednesday)Rising unemployment rates in places such as California, New York and New Jersey may seem dire but actually reflect economic strength. The United States has been under a “recession warning” for two years now. And after a brief lull as we entered 2024, the alarms are sounding again. It’s not the usual suspects of an inverted Treasury market ... | |
| Claudia Sahm: Bidenomics Is an Easy Sell If Presented Broadly Enough Posted: February 21, 2024 at 05:00 AM (Wednesday)The White House’s talking points on its economic policies are far too narrow to showcase what they have accomplished. Despite the economy enjoying its best non-pandemic era back-to-back quarters of growth since 2014, the Biden administration continues to struggle to come up with the right words to promote the successes of “ Bidenomics.” And ... | |
| Claudia Sahm: The Fed is only looking to past inflation, and that's a problem. Posted: February 9, 2024 at 07:16 PM (Friday)Chair Powell has taken March off the table for the first rate cut, implying that the Fed wants at least nine months of good inflation data before even considering cutting. Nothing else matters. Above the paywall, today's post discusses the Fed's backward-looking, inflation-only approach. Below the paywall, I discuss the level of the ... | |
| Claudia Sahm: The Federal Reserve Isn’t Political. Well, Not Exactly. Posted: February 8, 2024 at 05:00 AM (Thursday)The central bank won’t use monetary policy to influence the race for the White House, but it will seek to ensure that its current powers remain after the election. In an interview with 60 Minutes that aired Sunday, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell was asked “to what degree does politics determine your timing” of when to reduce interest ... | |
| Claudia Sahm: Count on Labor to Bolster the US Economy in 2024 Posted: January 1, 2024 at 08:00 AM (Monday)The jobs market is the most important cushion against any policy mistakes the Federal Reserve might make. In 2024, the eyes of market participants will be focused intently on the Federal Reserve. The two key questions are when will the central bank cut benchmark interest rates from their highest levels since 2000 and by how much? As much as ... | |
| Claudia Sahm: Economists May Have Been Flying Blind All Along Posted: November 24, 2023 at 06:00 AM (Friday)Declining response rates to official surveys raise the possibility that government and central bank officials have been making decisions based on flawed data. The pandemic upended many of the things we thought we knew about the economy. Even now, economists struggle to answer such fundamental questions as whether Americans are better ... | |
| Claudia Sahm: Why My Recession Rule Could Go Wrong This Time Posted: November 7, 2023 at 01:00 PM (Tuesday)The highly accurate Sahm rule uses the unemployment rate to detect the start of an economic downturn. But like many indicators during the pandemic era, it’s possible it could “break.” Alarm bells sounded Friday when we learned that the US unemployment rate rose to 3.9% for October, well above the 50-year low of 3.4% that it hit earlier in ... | |
| Claudia Sahm: Americans Like Sharing Bad Economic News Way Too Much Posted: October 30, 2023 at 06:00 AM (Monday)The misery index was twice as high in the 1970s than it is now, yet consumers report hearing negative things about the economy at a much greater rate. Social media is partly to blame. US consumer spending surged at a 4% annual rate last quarter even after accounting for inflation– and inflation is rapidly slowing. But say anything good about ... | |
| Claudia Sahm: The Fed tool that is having a powerful impact Posted: October 11, 2023 at 12:00 AM (Wednesday)Central bank’s Summary of Economic Projections may have spurred recent rises in Treasury yields. In the past month, there has been a significant shift in the views of investors on where interest rates are heading. The yield on 10-year US Treasury notes jumped half a percentage point, before a sharp retracing this week. High rates boost ... | |
| Claudia Sahm: Food Inflation Is a Hardship Outside the Fed's Control Posted: September 29, 2023 at 06:00 AM (Friday)Higher interest rates will do nothing to reverse the surging costs of basics such as meat or eggs. But shoring up the supply chain would help. It’s nearly impossible to have a conversation about inflation without mentioning food prices. And no wonder, as they are up 24% since the start of the pandemic and account for one-sixth of the increase ... | |
| Claudia Sahm: Make Student Loans Work for Students Posted: September 7, 2023 at 07:00 AM (Thursday)The main beneficiaries of the US government’s current program are colleges and universities. Amid the debate over student loans — President Joe Biden’s administration tried and failed to forgive some of the debt, which starts accruing interest this month after a three-year pause — a crucial question has often been overlooked: Who benefits the ... | |
| Claudia Sahm: Sure, Consumers' Savings Are Down, But So Is Their Debt Posted: August 30, 2023 at 06:00 AM (Wednesday)If the Federal Reserve fails to account for the drop in household liabilities, it risks making the wrong call on rates. Even with elevated consumer prices and high borrowing costs, Americans continue to spend at a solid clip, complicating the Federal Reserve’s efforts to tame inflation. One reason that central bank officials cite for ... | |
