Miran is a joke and is only there to take orders from the White House but even he can’t ignore the oil shock and its impact on inflation. So he says he would now pencil in 3 cuts this year compared to 4 previously.
That’s a sign of which way the wind is blowing and you can see that in the curve, where the market now sees 10 bps of easing this year compared to 50-60 bps pre-war.
Miran also says that a year from now, inflation could be at 2%. Of course , remember that he’s been arguing that underlying inflation is close to 2% and we just got a core 2.6% y/y print and 3.3% y/y. He has no credibility and is not a market mover.
