If food inflation recedes further, and the headline inflation rate starts to converge on the 3 core (non food) rate, the result will be the equivalent of passive monetary tightening in real (inflation adjusted) terms precisely what the inflation prone Chinese economy needs.

Administrative measures in the agricultural sector, aimed at alleviating supply bottlenecks for pork, cooking oil, fresh vegetables, and fertilizer, have pushed food price inflation lower. This is the main reason why the headline consumer inflation rate receded from 6.5 in July 2011 to 4.2 in November.

Inflation is always a serious risk in China especially with headline increases in the country s Consumer Price Index surging through the 6 threshold this summer. The government has responded forcefully on four fronts.

Here, the Fed is making a fatal mistake, as it relies heavily on a timeworn inflation forecasting methodology that filters out the special factors driving the often volatile prices of goods like food and energy. The logic is that the price fluctuations will eventually subside, and headline price indicators will converge on the core rate of inflation.

With a long anemic recovery looking shaky again, the doves contend that there is no reason to rush ahead with interest rate hikes.

To be sure, all G7 central banks are worried about the temporary rise in headline inflation, and all are threatening to hike interest rates. Nevertheless, the risk of a severe recession and of a serious banking and financial crisis will ultimately force all G7 central banks to cut rates.

Forget Inflation

As it stands, the headline consumer price index in the eurozone hovers around zero, and even core inflation remains below 1 too far for comfort from the ECB s target of around 2 .
