Federal Reserve Board Chairman Powell Has His Head in the Sand


 As a follow up to the recently released government price index numbers, John Hopkins economist Steve Hanke, who follows price inflation rates around the world, gets it right:

US producer prices are soaring—March showed the largest YoY spike in PPI in 9.5 yrs. Yet, Fed Chairman Powell still has his head in the sand. He is a  “see no inflation, hear no inflation, speak no inflation” kind of guy.
