Episode notes
Distrust Inflation Swap Signals
- Inflation swaps have been poor predictors this cycle and can mislead due to Fed distortions.
- Dayan prefers consumer and business inflation expectations over break-evens for real inflation signals.
Decompose Financial Conditions
- Measure financial conditions by decomposing separate impulses to growth and inflation.
- Track market reflexivity: rapid bond or equity moves can quickly feed into real economic activity, Danny Dayan advises.
1967 As A Cautionary Parallel
- 1967 offers a historical parallel: easing to defend jobs can fuel wages and later force aggressive hikes.
- Dayan warns today's easing risks repeating that cycle with an overheat and late tightening.
