Mish Talk
This is a guest post by Joseph Y. Calhoun at Alhambra Investment Partners. His post starts off with this quote by Stanley Fischer, Fed Vice-Chair in a speech before the National Association for Business Economics.
Says Fischer “We may well at present be seeing the first stirrings of an increase in the inflation rate — something that we would like to happen.”
