Fed’s Brainard: Successive supply shocks a challenge for central banks

“The successive shocks to global supply chains from the pandemic and the war in Ukraine could ‘herald a shift’ to an era of more volatile inflation and force central banks to guard against it with tighter monetary policy,” Fed vice chair Lael Brainard said in remarks released on Monday by the U.S. central bank, reported Reuters.

Additional comments

The experience with the pandemic and the war highlights the challenges for monetary policy in responding to a protracted series of adverse supply shocks.

If supply continues to prove slow to respond ‘due to challenges such as demographics, deglobalization, and climate change, it could herald a shift to an environment characterized by more volatile inflation compared with the preceding few decades.’

A protracted series of adverse supply shocks could persistently weigh on potential output or could risk pushing inflation expectations above target in ways that call for monetary policy to tighten for risk-management reasons.

Monetary policy often recommends officials ‘look through’ supply shocks that are expected to be temporary, an approach that the Fed used initially when U.S. inflation rose for what were expected to be one-off ‘transitory’ reasons.

But the sequence of such shocks faced in the last two years, with one handing the baton to the other, ‘blurred the lines about what constitutes a temporary shock as opposed to a persistent shock to potential output.’

Even when each individual supply shock fades over time and behaves like a temporary shock on its own, a drawn-out sequence of adverse supply shocks that has the cumulative effect of constraining potential output for an extended period is likely to call for monetary policy tightening to restore balance between demand and supply.

EUR/USD stays pressured

Hawkish Fedspeak has recently helped the EUR/USD bears and so did the comments from Fed’s Brainard. That said, the major currency pair remains pressured near 1.0340 by the press time.

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
