  • Fed indicates it will let inflation run above 2 percent goal for 'temporary period'

    From cnbc.com

    Federal Reserve officials would be content to let inflation briefly run above their 2 percent target as the economy continues to recover, according to minutes from the central bank's most recent meeting. Following the May 1-2 session, the policymaking Federal Open Market Committee said it wasn't raising rates yet but added the word "symmetric" to describe its inflation goal. Market participants since have puzzled over what the change in language might imply. The summary released Wednesday indicates a substantial level of debate over how the Fed should approach inflation. The minutes also pointed to an interest ... (full story)

Wow !! And just like that -- Now, higher or MUCH HIGHER INFLATION is NOT a problem anymore?! It is actually desirable?!
--------------------------------------------------
ALL AND ALL - What this whole thing really means is this: SELL, SELL, SELL -- This is really bad for the economy. [That's all you need to know] -- SELL, SELL, SELL.
--------------------------------------------------
Just to mention a few consequences of high inflation rates:

1. Price Increases
Inflation is defined as an increase in the average price of goods and services, not including wages, that goes uncompensated by increases in income. These price increases can either occur over time or be a sudden, one time event.
------------------------
2.Purchasing Power Decrease
Increasing prices without a commensurate increase personal or business income means that the currency suffering from inflation has a lower purchasing power. Fewer goods and services are available for a given sum of money, thus making people and businesses financially poorer.
-------------------------
3. Increased Spending
In some cases, a fear of increasing prices may trigger people to spend more. This increased spending adds to inflationary problems because it increases demand on a limited supply of products and services, thus increasing prices.
--------------------------
4. Decreased Saving
Because people and businesses may be afraid that the value of money will continue to decrease and that prices will continue to rise, the increased spending during inflation results in a decreased savings rate.
--------------------------
5.Periods of high inflation are associated with bad macroeconomic performance. In particular, high inflation is bad for growth. The evidence is based on a sample of eighteen countries that have experienced very high inflation episodes. During such periods, real GDP per capita fell on average by 1.6 percent per annum (compared to positive growth of 1.4 percent in low inflation years); private consumption per capita fell by 1.3 percent (compared to 1.7 percent growth in low inflation years) and investment growth fell by 3.3 percent (compared to positive growth of 4.2 percent in low inflation years).
