Dollar’s Rise Poses Risk for Fed Plans
Keywords:
The WSJ Dollar Index , which shows the strength of the U.S. dollar against a trade-weighted basket of currencies, jumped up by 22% from July 1, 2014 to March 17, 2015, according to FactSet. Since that time the dollar has risen slowly by 2.7%. Scott Mather, chief investment officer, U.S. core strategies, PIMCO, says the dollar normally rises faster in the period when there is an expectation of rising rates than when the actual increase of rates takes place. Analysts say if the Fed raises rates in 2016 this could strengthen the dollar further, complicating the Fed's rate increase plans with slower increase in inflation. U.S. S&P 500 companies have reported lower earnings by 10-12% in the third quarter of 2015- when actual earnings dropped by only 1.5%- because of the stronger dollar, according to Binky Chadha, chief global strategist at Deutsche Bank. He says core goods inflation would have risen by half a percentage point more without the stronger dollar, meeting the 2% Fed target, had the dollar not strengthened.

What Krugman makes of the one trillion dollar U.S. deficit in 2012 and the alternate view of John Taylor on the U.S. deficit
08/22/2010
Krugman says $1.089 trillion to be exact for the fiscal year ending in Sept. 2012. He gives the 400-450-150 formula to understand what this means in simple terms. The debt would still be stable or declining as a ratio of GDP at $400 billion because of steady GDP growth. He cites the example of the period when debt to GDP declined from 49% to 33% because of steady growth during the Clinton years (1992-2000) even though Clinton started out in 2000 with a deficit. The $450 billion is from lower tax payments because of the 2008 economic crisis followed by recession which would be reversed with restored GDP growth. The $150 billion is from payments such as unemployment insurance, food stamps, to cushion the effects of that crisis and the recession, which would be reversed with restored economic growth.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
