Additional comments

I do not entirely agree with Michael Saunders on the duration of the inflation of the prices of the goods.
Goods prices are more likely to move lower, instead of on the rise, inflation within two years.
I am currently putting less weight on GDP data due to the turmoil below the surface.
Looking at the output gap is not the best way to judge inflation today.
It is we will likely have negative inflation in shipping costs and raw materials in about a year.
Now I am less sure where the natural rate of unemployment is in the short term.
