RESEARCH April 2011 Inflation Watch An Eye on Prices April 15, 2011 Next Release: May 13, 2011
Inflation Watch Inflation (price-level growth) is important for REALTORS® because it can lead to shifts in interest rate policy by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC).   Generally, the FOMC lowers interest rates to stimulate the economy.  However, rates that are too low may lead to inflation.  To combat inflation, the central bank increases interest rates but this policy may dampen economic growth.   For example, lower mortgage rates could bring home buyers into the market and create jobs while higher mortgage rates caused by inflation or central bank action could reduce demand among home buyers. RESEARCH
Inflation Watch During the recent financial crisis, fears of deflation (price-level decline) were rampant.  (Deflation caused a downward spiral of prices that destroyed the economy in the Great Depression.) With financial markets now stable, some fear that inflation is around the corner.  Stagflation, another unpleasant economic condition characterized by high unemployment and high inflation, is also a possibility. In stagflation, it is difficult for the central bank to raise interest rates to combat inflation due fear of further job market deterioration if demand is hurt by the increased interest rates.  RESEARCH
April 2011 Highlights Increases in producer prices are beginning to creep into consumer prices, especially in energy prices Headline consumer prices increased far too quickly in the month; only apparel, computers, and household furnishings have seen price declines A survey of industry economists finds rising prices and the expectation of further price and cost increases RESEARCH

Inflation watch 4.18.11

  • 1. RESEARCH April 2011 Inflation Watch An Eye on Prices April 15, 2011 Next Release: May 13, 2011
  • 2. Inflation Watch Inflation (price-level growth) is important for REALTORS® because it can lead to shifts in interest rate policy by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). Generally, the FOMC lowers interest rates to stimulate the economy. However, rates that are too low may lead to inflation. To combat inflation, the central bank increases interest rates but this policy may dampen economic growth. For example, lower mortgage rates could bring home buyers into the market and create jobs while higher mortgage rates caused by inflation or central bank action could reduce demand among home buyers. RESEARCH
  • 3. Inflation Watch During the recent financial crisis, fears of deflation (price-level decline) were rampant. (Deflation caused a downward spiral of prices that destroyed the economy in the Great Depression.) With financial markets now stable, some fear that inflation is around the corner. Stagflation, another unpleasant economic condition characterized by high unemployment and high inflation, is also a possibility. In stagflation, it is difficult for the central bank to raise interest rates to combat inflation due fear of further job market deterioration if demand is hurt by the increased interest rates. RESEARCH
