Inflation Leading Indicator Data with Agricultural Commodities Inflation leading indicator data is not derived solely from CPI numbers; more importantly, we must consider what drives these CPI numbers. By understanding this, we can stay ahead of the mass market. Looking at past trends, we can observe that CPI numbers and agricultural commodities tend to move in tandem. In this discussion, we will explore why agricultural commodities are an effective tool for projecting inflation direction and examine where these commodities may be heading.

Inflation rate vs FED FUNDS RATEThe inflation rate and the Federal Funds Rate are deeply interconnected, with the Federal Reserve using the latter as a primary tool to manage the former. When inflation rises above the Fed's target (typically around 2%), the Fed often increases the Federal Funds Rate to tighten monetary policy. Higher rates make borrowing more expensive, which can reduce consumer spending and business investment, thereby slowing economic activity and helping to curb inflationary pressures. Conversely, when inflation is too low or the economy is sluggish, the Fed may lower the Federal Funds Rate to stimulate borrowing, spending, and investment, which can help boost economic activity and push inflation toward the target. However, this relationship is influenced by external factors such as supply chain disruptions, energy prices, and global economic conditions, which can complicate the Fed's ability to control inflation solely through rate adjustments. For example, during periods of supply-driven inflation (like during a oil price shock), raising rates may have limited immediate impact on inflation but could still be used to anchor inflation expectations. Thus, the Fed's management of the Federal Funds Rate in response to inflation reflects a balancing act between stabilizing prices and supporting sustainable economic growth.

$USIRYY -U.S CPI (January/2025)ECONOMICS:USIRYY 2.9% (January/2025) source: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics - The annual inflation rate in the US likely held steady at 2.9% in January 2025, matching December’s figure, which was the highest since July. On a monthly basis, the CPI is expected to have risen by 0.3%, slowing from 0.4% in December, with food and energy prices continuing to increase, particularly natural gas. Meanwhile, annual core inflation, which excludes volatile components such as food and energy, is anticipated to decline for a second consecutive month to 3.1%, marking the lowest level since April 2021. In contrast, monthly core inflation is projected to edge up to 0.3% from 0.2% in December, driven primarily by an increase in new and used car prices.

Unemployment - In big pictureThe history of periods when unemployment was rising and key indicators illustrating economic stimulation through interest rate cuts. For comparison, the impact on BTC and altcoins. Interestingly, throughout Bitcoin's entire history, the best periods have been when unemployment was declining. The only exception was during the COVID era, when the largest amount of money in history was printed, inflating the markets. Currently, we are facing rising unemployment, unregulated inflation, escalating global conflicts, and a trade tariff war. How will the stock market and the crypto market react?

Inflation vs gold correlation 60's to 80's Pattern.Gold seems to like inflation. Or, is inflation food for gold? These are chars that no one is showing you. According to this chart, Gold has a seven year bull run ahead of it that should top at some point in 2032. This a chart of the US Inflation rate on the 2 month (Blue line) right from the horses mouth, Bureau of labour statistics. On the top in gold or yellow is the gold chart. As you can clearly see, in the seventies gold was very heavily correlated with inflation. This is not my opinion this is a fact, and it will be again. THIS IS A 2 FOR ONE GUYS. INFLATION AND GOLD FORCAST ALL IN ONE!! Let me know what you think down below. Kind regards, WeAreSat0shi

TARIFFS Will Lead To Inflation!? NOPE!So many talking heads crying TARIFFS will be inflationary, but it’s mostly uneducated fear-mongering. Let’s look at the cold, hard USIRYY and CPI data to figure out the truth behind this. From March 2018 through September 2019, President Trump had eight waves of tariff announcements on C-H-I-N-A, plus some steel and aluminum ones on Mexico and Canada. In order to combat these inflation worries, Trump did what he said he was going to do… DRILL BABY DRILL. For the first time since 1949, the US would be a net exporter of oil. We can see there was a quick spike in inflation from stockpiling imports before tariffs were fully implemented, but inflation quickly plummeted nearly in half as the US became a net exporter. Fast-forward to today, and coincidentally inflation is at 2.9% which is right around where it was when Trump imposed the tariffs during his last presidency. Funny how that works out, eh ;) Trump has declared the US will DRILL BABY DRILL bigger than ever, which should lead us to believe that this time is NOT different and inflation will go down again.

A capture of inflation, dilution and stimulus /2024As we see by the chart, we had a series of events mostly around mega-stimulus for Covid and a massive dilution of currency as triggering events. Inflation rose and is now back down close to the desirable 2% inflation. We don't want prices to go back to where they were, that is deflation and is not healthy for an economy. We want prices to stay near the same year after year with modest inflation. When inflation rises too fast, we increase interest rates to slow down spending, to reduce inflation. The best we can do is work on wage growth to accommodate the inflation from our past years while maintaining modest inflation. At 2.4% inflation currently, there really is pretty much nothing to fix anymore, we just need to keep it around where it is, a little lower really and work on modest wage growth. Looking at this data, it really looks like the vast majority of the culpability of that inflation we had came from 2020, one of the single worst years financially as a country with inflation starting to rise immediately in 2021, and exacerbated some in 2021. Looking at this chart, there is a tangible possibility that we see >10% inflation by 2027 Here is the M2 money supply chart:

Lower inflation do not mean things will become cheaperLower inflation and interest rates do not necessarily mean that prices will decrease. If I annualize the inflation numbers instead of focusing on the monthly figures, the overall picture becomes much clearer. 2 and 10 Year Yield Futures Ticker: 2YY, 10Y Minimum fluctuation: 0.001 Index points (1/10th basis point per annum) = $1.00 Disclaimer: • What presented here is not a recommendation, please consult your licensed broker. • Our mission is to create lateral thinking skills for every investor and trader, knowing when to take a calculated risk with market uncertainty and a bolder risk when opportunity arises.

Rolling 5-Year InflationInstead of using the monthly inflation print, a 5-year (60-month) SMA is used to chart US inflation. The SMA is used to cut back on noise from “transitory” inflation, giving a better view of the broader inflation environment realized over the past half-decade. Said differently, it illustrates the inflation environment which policymakers and central bankers are/were “dealing with.” For a more short-term-oriented view of regime change, an EMA might be used in place of an SMA. A shorter-term view is likely to be more useful in the context of near-term interest rate cuts. Historically, inflation tends to evolve from one “regime” to another. The implications of a regime change are enormous, and I am growing in my conviction that we are now in a new regime, as evidenced by the SMA breaking through a key level (explained below). Since inflation prints (or, any macro data, for that matter) are a fool’s game to predict with a high degree of precision, I used a pseudoscientific approach which yielded 3.25% as the key level for inflation to “break through” to a new regime. Using 3.25% also gives us a “round” number, making it easier to quickly put inflation prints in context (for me, at least). My commentary and some ideas to consider: Why 3.25% is important: it had not been “breached” since 1996. Put another way: the prevailing inflation environment has reached a level not seen in 28 years. Why is 1996 important? A look back over the past century provides hindsight of when prior inflation regimes began and ended. After the “1970’s” (colloquially), we entered a new era which realized a prolonged downtrend in inflation worldwide. 1996 became a clear demarcation point upon identifying waves of “lower highs and lower lows” in the years since. Further, 1996 roughly coincides with the end of a series of markedly higher “waves” of inflation. I feel it is relevant to also point out the dramatic changes in the world since we last saw 3.25% in 1996. 1. Internet In 1996, the internet as we know it today was in its infancy. This is obviously a change of biblical proportions in the way we live, and never before in human history has the entire world been connected in this manner (i.e., we are the guinea pigs of computing). Entire libraries could be filled with commentary on the internet’s impact on the economy, so I will defer to the experts for opinions. That said, it has generally been disinflationary. 2. Tech Giants Today, the 6 highest weighted S&P 500 stocks account for ~25% of the index. In 1996, of these six, only MSFT and AAPL were “established” companies, and even then, AAPL was in the midst of an identity crisis and was nowhere near the trillion dollar behemoth it is today. As for the remaining four: NVDA was founded three years prior in 1993, and in 1996 laid off ~1/2 of its then-100 employees. GOOG was still a research project of a pair of PhD’s and wouldn’t launch for another two years. AMZN was still in its first year of operations as an online bookstore, a far cry from its monstrous scale today. And, finally, the founder and brainchild of META, Mark Zuckerberg, was 11 years old, and the term social media was still about a decade away from entering even the fringes of society’s lexicon. This is all to say, nearly 1/4 of the proxy for the “equity market” - the S&P 500 - is driven by ENTIRELY NEW “inventions” (or products, services, goods, etc.). In the context of inflation, NONE of these “inventions” have EVER existed in an economy with inflation “above 3.25%.” There is a mammoth amount of capital that is put towards tracking the S&P 500, and in order to balance weights when tracking, it involves the buying and selling of all its constituents together. Having been untested in a transition to a “higher” inflation regime, it remains to be seen how the heavyweights of the S&P will hold up. Should they demonstrate an inability to “absorb” inflation, it would likely result in a broader sell off of the S&P, and would be exacerbated by a rotation to fixed income should interest rates remain elevated and offer yield which is more attractive than uncertainty as to when the “absorption” will occur, if it does at all. 3. China In 1996, China was still in its second stage of economic reforms, privatizing SOE’s, and would not enter the WTO for another five years. The consequences of China’s reforms have been enormous, and are potentially the most important influencer of inflation over the past thirty or so years. Again, this is another topic that could fill a library, and I will not elaborate more. That said, the effects of China’s reforms have been largely disinflationary. It is uncertain whether this trend will continue, as China is now facing a host of serious financial issues which could reach a boiling point. In particular, China is now the dominant player in commodity markets, virtually controlling the supply and/or demand for many of the world’s raw materials. How this interacts with China’s navigation of financial issues is uncertain, but has potential to be highly disruptive to global supply chains, which would push inflation higher. 4. Government Debt The US’ prolonged wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, on which the country spent several trillion dollars over nearly two decades, were still several years from occurring. Unlike other wars in the 20th Century and in recent history, these wars were largely financed through government debt. In the opinion of many, these wars were considered to be failures. Largely agreeing with this notion, the expansion of deficit spending to finance “lost” wars not only diverted monies from useful purposes such as infrastructure and education, but also hastened the government’s need to “inflate away” its debt. According to a paper by Brown University’s Watson Institute, the interest expense alone on the debt used to finance these wars will likely exceed $2 TN by 2030. To put this in perspective, when considering the 2022 federal outlay for highway spending amounted to $47 BN, these interest payments on war debt are roughly equal to FIFTY YEARS worth of federal highway spending. To make matters worse, the debt from the US’ wars pales in comparison to the bonanza in government spending in response to COVID. A whopping $5 TN in stimulus was doled out in a matter of months. It will take years to determine the ultimate effect the stimulus money will have had on the economy’s “intangibles”. For now, it is clear this spending spree has bloated the government’s debt, and input can be argued the US is running a dangerously high Debt/GDP ratio - a bellwether of inflation. How does the government plan to dig itself out of this hole? Logic points towards the path of least resistance, which in this case means “inflating away the debt.” We very well may have already begun to see this process set in motion. Inflation, by its nature, carries political implications, which has often led to charged discourse and sensationalized media headlines. This rings particularly true in election years (this year) and in times of collective struggle (the COVID era). Unfortunately, this can muddy the waters when trying to make sense of the data prints. My aim was to make a simple illustration which can uncover a regime change in inflation. It is up to the user to determine whether the regime change signal holds validity.
