As was widely expected, the @federalreserve today halted the most aggressive policy rate #HikingCycle since 1980, leaving the Fed Funds range unchanged at 5.0% to 5.25%, a level that appears clear to us to be finally having an impact on the #economy.
We think today’s actions represent a “Hawkish skip,” which implies that #policy makers are seeking more #data before potentially hiking rates again in July, or September.
For our part, we think #ChairPowell’s comments at the press conference made it clear that the #FOMC is seeking to balance increasingly restrictive monetary policy with the high degree of uncertainty around the tightening of #CreditConditions…
We’ve seen the pace of #payroll gains decelerate to roughly the monthly trend pace from the last expansion; consensus has been waiting for this moment and expected a 195,000 job gain in May, but the data printed considerably stronger at 339,000 #jobs gained.
The three-month moving average of #nonfarm payrolls sits at 283,000, down from 334,000 jobs at the start of the year, but what the #LaborMarket imbalance needs is more supply and more slack.
The #unemployment rate ticked up to 3.65%, close to its 12-month average level, and average hourly #earnings (a volatile figure) gained 0.33% month-over-month and 4.3% on a year-over-year basis.

BUT AT WHAT COST ?
FIRST: Every litre of Ethanol, Govt India will lose Rs15-20 in Tax Collections since:
👉Cost of Procuring PETROL is Rs45/lt
👉Cost of Procurement of ETHANOL is Rs65/Lt
👉Difference is Rs20/lt is LOSS IN TAX REVENUE
1020cr Ethanol = 20400cr in Tax Losses/Yr

Excellent talk by Simon Sharpe @INETOxford just now, pointing out how the #climate crisis challenges economic #orthodoxy in several ways. Spoiler 🔥"Economics as a discipline has forgotten what the scientific method is" (@camjhep pointing to #heterodox ideas in defense)🧵
💡The premise: To meet our #climate goals, we need to reduce emissions globally by about 8% per year by 2030, as compared to the 1,5% p.a. achieved so far - hence the title of his book #FiveTimesFaster
1⃣ An #economy going through the rapid and far-reaching systems #transition this requires (acc. to @IPCC_CH) cannot be analysed in terms of #equilibrium, a sitation in which "nobody has any immediate reason to change their actions" according to the Oxford Dictionary of Economics.

[1/🧵] A short synopsis of Joachim Nagel's most recent speech on the future of #economic and #monetary union, presented and released by @OMFIF (@OMFIFDMI). 👇

🔸 #Inflation

🔸 #Fiscal development, ...

Anlässlich der Debatte um das 🇪🇺#Verbrenner"verbot", die von 🇩🇪 jetzt auch nach 🇦🇹 schwappt, hier etwas Hintergrund zum optimalen #policy #mix, wenn es darum geht, den technologischen Fortschritt in eine #CO2-freie Richtung zu lenken, aus umweltökonomischer Sicht 1/
1. Instrument der Wahl ist i.d. Theorie eine umfassende #CO2-Bepreisung in angemessener Höhe (z.B. = #Schadenskosten) mit sozial ausgewogener #Rückvergütung: CO2-Preis korrigiert fehlenden Preis für Umweltgüter, der #fossile Kraftstoffe zu günstig macht 2/
Aber i.d. Realität lässt sich ein angemessen hoher CO2-Preis nicht überall umsetzen: Weil a) der ökonomisch #perfekte Markt nicht existiert (weitere #Marktversagen), und b) sich aus #sozialen Gründen im Gebäude- und Verkehrsbereich keine so hohen CO2-Preise durchsetzen lassen 3/
Today’s #JobsReport was very solid, but like is often the case in the movies, it’s very hard for the sequel (today’s report) to match such an unexpected hit (January’s revised 504,000 jobs gained).
Still, a nonfarm #payroll gain of 311,000 jobs is quite good and having 815,000 jobs created so far this year after the #economy has already created 12 million #jobs over the past two years is pretty amazing in its own right.
Further, the 3-month moving average of 351,000 jobs, after a 12-month moving average of 362,000 jobs gained per month is also pretty remarkable, particularly after the market-implied pricing of the terminal #FedFunds rate has move up 500 basis points (bps) in a year.

#PFL for Chosen Family (#AB518) will ensure workers who care for #ChosenFamily can access #PaidFamilyLeave. This is esp important bc the program's outdated definition of family does not reflect today’s workforce. You can be there for your bestie AND receive wage replacement!
