BoE’s Pill: The Fed must watch both sides of mandates
Bank of England (BoE) Governor Andrew Bailey noted that a low-hiring, low-firing environment may persist or quickly shift to a no-hiring, more-firing labor market in a LinkedIn post on Friday
Key takeaways:
There's a risk that we draw too much comfort from the dip in inflation that will come in April.
The labor market does appear to have eased significantly, perhaps more than activity data would have predicted.
We should not overinterpret changes to the growth outlook in February forecasts.
The latest pay intentions data is good evidence that the disinflation process is intact but not complete.
The latest DMP data on pay and pricing plans are not at entirely comfortable levels.
The Fed must watch both sides of mandates; the situation feels 'precarious'.
It was noted that a low-hiring, low-firing environment may persist or may quickly change to a no-hiring, more-firing labor market.
Businesses are cautiously optimistic, but workers are not so sure."
