A comeback in inflation is no less likely because it has been absent for the past 30 years

Fed has signalled it will tolerate an overshoot of the target for a period of time to compensate for persistently low inflation.

The risk, as I see it, is that inflation could overshoot the overshoot levels the Fed is comfortable with.

To date, US households have lost $490bn in income but have received $1.3tn in transfers. The total amount of transfers will undoubtedly rise with the passage of the next fiscal stimulus package.
