one is to basically declare victory and say 1.6%, and that is close to our target as long as we can credibly believe inflation is heading to 2%. we are thick -- we can see that they are heading along those lines. basically you start to think, mainly unemployment can be lower, at the rate of unemployment is too high and overtime, we will have to bring it down further. that is another avenue fed officials will think about more aggressively over the second half of the year if indeed inflation stays low. terminal,ooking at my basically a chart breaking down inflation and a bunch of different ways. the fed index, headline inflation down at the bottom, housing, shockingly weak, showing how much housing has

really had upward pressure on this. the bottom line is they all headed lower. what is the bottom underlying story? thing for the fed to say we have confidence inflation is up. but what is going on? all of these lines are pointing down right now. >> one thing going on is that inflation expectations are well-maintained. some estimates they are following, maybe this is putting downward pressure on the overall inflation. fairly large of flat folding out -- holding down inflation as well. effects, that maybe we are not doing adjustment on inflation rate. the low-inflation environment,

extra pricing at the beginning of the year because firms are only changing pricing it the end of the year. there are a number of reasons we can think of and i think fundamentally, what is happening is it is remaining contained and that is something the fed will have to address. is a weak have seen patch in the first quarter of every year. do we presume, that is what happens and that it is something we can dismiss once we are past the first quarter? will have ahe fed tendency to think a couple of the recent inflation reports were dominated by special events and maybe seasonal effects. at least for the next meeting, i will say that unemployment is low and we want to make sure we stay ahead of the inflation curve. we know there have been issues and it looks like growth has accelerated in the second

quarter. let's go ahead and tighten up policy more. as a situation persists, they have to rethink the likely path of interest rates. >> you are saying maybe in the that italf of the year, is not ok anymore to assume that the weakness is transitory, and we have to do a turn here. at what point do they make that decision and at what point is that -- >> sometime closer to september. i that means them thinking either about delaying the reduction of the balance sheet, and they are planning to do it later this year if everything works out, or taking down rate hikes for the year, and next year. >> one thing we have seen is at the cost of wireless services

want inflation expectations to drift downward, especially in an environment with the next recession seeing it zero bound again. we do not want to see it with 1.5 percent expectations. >> thank you. and we get the fed minutes tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. , european data painting a rosy picture of remaining on firm footing. this is bloomberg. ♪
