☆ Fed's Brainard says data may be aligning for 'soft landing' scenario

[1/3] Federal Reserve Vice Chair Lael Brainard speaks at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, in Chicago, Illinois, U.S., January 19, 2023. In addition, she said the full impact of last year's aggressive Fed interest rate increases has yet to be felt. "It remains possible that a continued moderation in aggregate demand could facilitate continued easing in the labor market and reduction in inflation without a significant loss of employment," Brainard said. Even as the Fed parses the progress it has made on inflation, she said it would "stay the course." "Even with the recent moderation, inflation remains high, and policy will need to be sufficiently restrictive for some time to make sure inflation returns to 2 percent on a sustained basis," Brainard said.
☆ Fed Vice Chair Brainard: Inflation is easing, but our work isn't done

That’s the message Thursday from Fed Vice Chair Lael Brainard, speaking at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. “Even with the recent moderation, inflation remains high, and policy will need to be sufficiently restrictive for some time to make sure inflation returns to 2% on a sustained basis,” Brainard said. After four consecutive blockbuster hikes that were three-quarters of a point in size, the Fed downshifted during its last meeting, approving a half-point increase. Still, Brainard said she believes it’s possible the Fed could achieve a soft landing — a reduction in inflation without a significant amount of job loss. “That said, I’d say for the United States, recent data suggests slightly better prospects that we could see continued disinflation in the context of moderate growth.”The next two-day meeting for the Fed’s rate-setting committee starts January 31.

☆ New economic 'regime' challenges central bankers to keep pace

Reuters GraphicsThe U.S. central bank is already adjusting to one unanticipated set of changes - an outbreak of inflation coupled with stalled growth in the U.S. labor force. "You have to identify the regime change ... Then you have to understand the transition dynamics ... and have a clear vision and insight into all of those ... "Markets calibrated to ... Chinese growth and low interest rates may prove fragile." Like recessions, which are typically identified only well after they have started, other economic turning points aren't always apparent in the moment. But as evidence of that accumulated following the 2007-2009 recession, it was only embodied into Fed policy in 2020 under a new approach that leaned against premature interest rate increases.

LONDON, Dec 21 (Reuters) - Former U.S. Federal Reserve official Randall Kroszner will join the Bank of England's Financial Policy Committee (FPC) as a part-time external member for three years starting in February 2023, Britain's finance ministry said on Wednesday. "His leading academic voice in macroprudential policy ... and his experience at the Federal Reserve during the global financial crisis will be of real value to the committee," finance minister Jeremy Hunt said. The 13-member FPC monitors risks to Britain's financial system and sets capital buffers for British banks and maximum loan-to-income ratios for mortgage lending, as well as giving more general supervisory guidance. Bailey welcomed Kroszner's "significant international policy experience and extensive research on the financial sector". The committee has four scheduled meetings a year, but convenes more often at times of financial market stress.
☆ Once arcane job openings survey becomes darling of Fed's eye

In recent years, researchers have looked for supplements, in particular to data like JOLTS, to provide more nuance about job market dynamics. "When JOLTS came along it was stepping into a data void that it has done a good job of filling. An expanded JOLTS survey may get directly at that and other issues in the future, said Paul R. Calhoun Jr., who was involved with developing the survey in the 1990s and is its current manager. "You got all these job openings," Calhoun said. "We had the unemployment rate, so we knew how many people there are who are looking for work and don't have a job.
