Housing starts, industrial production, NY Times quote

Permits and starts have fallen off but are still above pre-Covid levels. This particular sector is presumed to be the target of Fed rate hikes. I suspect it is a temporary setback with buyers taking a wait and see attitude, as employment continues to grow:

US energy costs are relatively low which is helping drive the export component:

Peter Coy’s NYT article today was about my assertion that rate hikes are adding to inflation, which was confirmed by his quote from Prof. Michael Woodford, who is considered the #1 mainstream monetary economist and the Fed’s ‘go to’ economist:

CPI, PPI

As previously discussed, with oil prices coming down the inflation problem ends.
(The month to month change in CPI was 0)

I suspect they go a lot higher as Saudi OSPs remain elevated and speculative long positions taken on when the war in Ukraine started seem to have been sold in anticipation of recession.

Pressures easing here:

And this may indicate global spending is holding up:

So in short we had Covid deficit spending north of 15% of GDP supporting strong growth, followed by a collapse in deficit spending that resulted in a strong deceleration of growth. However sufficient deficit spending remains (about 5% of GDP) to sustain more modest levels of growth.
