Valuations? We’re Talking About Valuations?

The Reality of Tariffs vs the Rhetoric

There is a lot of debate happening right now, largely along partisan lines, about whether tariffs are inflationary. Market participants in support of the President-elect are loudly making the case that the example of the tariffs of 2018 prove that tariffs are not actually inflationary. The Fed Staff and the economics team at Goldman Sachs have empirically demonstrated those claims to be misleading at best. The chart below from Goldman illustrates the reality of what happened last time around. The chart shows that while broad measures of inflation showed little impact, the industries impacted by the tariffs saw meaningful inflation.

Inflation is all about the Headlines

"Whether or not you think there will be real NEED for companies to pass through a tariff or not, that is secondary to whether or not they CAN. What the study informs us is that if they can, they will." - Tim Pierotti

Global Capitalism’s Checks and Balances

In the wake of the recent “Red Wave” election results, one might be wondering if there are any restraints on the incoming administration. Republicans will control the White House and both the House and Senate. The Supreme Court is controlled by conservatives who have expressed an unprecedented view of the “Unitary Executive”. In some regards those concerns may be justified and we are likely to see a White House that is unrestrained relative to history. But when it comes to the economy, this administration will still have to answer to a higher authority: the bond market.

The Economic Realities of Illegal Immigration

The Postpandemic U.S. Immigration Surge: New Facts and Inflationary Implications, a new working paper from The Dallas Fed answers an economic question that has become a highly political one. Has the significant rise in unauthorized immigration exacerbated inflation? The answer, according to a team of economists led by Anton Cheremukhin, is no, nor has it been disinflationary. In summary, they conclude, “Contrary to the popular view, we find little effect on inflation, as the increase in supply was largely offset by an increase in demand.”

What if the Ayatollah Has No Clothes?

Oil is always the unknowable variable to those assessing the global economy. Perhaps the US and the Saudis will convince Israeli leadership not to attack Iran’s energy infrastructure in the near future, but from my perspective such an event is only a question of when, not if. And when it does happen, it will not be an event, but part of a paradigm shift that could change oil markets permanently.
