So lets look at the ten year rate:
And we see the ten year rates dropping. The Fed has been deflating. Lowering the rates along the curve lowers the price of real assets along the curve. In a stock and flow model, when the return from reserves drops the prices of real goods tends to drop. But this cannot hold, so there must be some other form of reserve substitution or real price declines.
Imports bring lower prices and compensate for lower rates. And, at lower bound we have exhausted that resource. What comes next? Well oil prices now stabilize world inflation. As the world demands more oil we accept greater inflation.
Hence we expect global rebalancing. How is it going?
Deo’s bullet points:
FT Alphaville: Over the past five years there has been a clear inverse relationship between changes in domestic demand and changes in the external balance. With the advent of smaller US external deficits, the rise in foreign official holdings of Treasuries (from $600bn in 2000 to $4,000bn in 2013) has slowed and may even be reversing (with a decline of roughly $125bnbetween March and August 2013). The trade intensity of the global recovery has fallen. Prior to the crisis, a 1 percentage point increase in global GDP growth boosted world trade by roughly 2 percentage points. In the past five years, the trade multiplier has collapsed. Trade is growing in line with sluggish world GDP growth. With domestic demand still skewed towards the US, the UBS paper concludes conclude that: The US is still the sole major economic region capable of driving up its rate of growth via increased domestic demand. If the US is to restore full employment, it will have to do so without much help from the rest of the world. Given that the US economy does not have the same vitality that it did before the crisis, the exported recoveries elsewhere will remain correspondingly weaker for longer.
