[Subject to Change] – Posting of No. THIS MODEL’S OUTPUT IS NOT THE ATLANTA FED’S FORMAL GDP FORECAST. • Near Record Growth of Currency in Circulation Foreshadows Inflation Risk It reviews the Fed's overhaul of Money Supply reporting, offers some options, and includes March 2021 Monetary Base detail (the Fed continues to panic), and the March Labor numbers, all in in context of year-ago Pandemic disruptions. I realized the GNP numbers were faulty, corrected them for my client (official reporting was similarly revised a couple of years later) and the model worked again, at least for a while, until GNP methodological changes eventually made the underlying data worthless. Where full-year 2020 real GDP sank by 3.49% (-3.49%), respective 4q2020 annual declines in GDP, GNP and the GDI (theoretical income-side equivalent of the GDP’s product side) stood at 2.39% (-2.39%), 2.69% (-2.69%) and 1.49% (-1.49%). Public Comment on Inflation Measurement & the Chained CPI-U, Update 2016 • Update 2015 • Hyperinflation 2014 • 2014 Second Installment • Deficit Reality. • Liquidity-Strapped Consumers Move to Cash, Spiking Traditional Money Supply M1 Subsequent Commentary No. • Risk of Hyperinflationary Economic Collapse Has Accelerated With Democrats Taking Control of Both the White House and Congress • Nonetheless, January 2021 CPI-U Annual Inflation Hit a Soft, Ten-Month High of 1.4%, Boosted by Gasoline Prices, but Constrained by Mixed Food and Core Inflation • Policies Will Continue Until Both Full Employment and Targeted, Prospective Inflation Running Above 2.0% Are Attained The BLS acknowledged continuing misclassification of some “unemployed” persons as “employed,” in the Household Survey. -- ShadowStats regularly follows and analyzes the Cass Freight Index® as a highest-quality coincident and leading indicator of underlying economic reality. • November Industrial Production and Its Dominant Manufacturing Sector Showed Deepening Year-to-Year Declines, While the Mining Sector Showed a Narrowed Annual Plunge, Thanks to Rising Oil Prices Headline U.3 Unemployment also remained deep in non-recovery territory. Newly redefined M1 and related information now minimalized by the Federal Reserve, however, largely still are available from ShadowsStats’ “Basic M1,” which was the Federal Reserve’s original Money Supply concept.” The effect of the FOMC’s M1 redefinition was to erase the appearance of what had been the increasing headline flow of Cash from M2 to M1, with liquidity-strapped Consumers and Businesses moving out of Savings (formerly not in M1) into Cash and Checking accounts. 350.9% in January, yet that annual comparison is inconsistent; 32.1% vs. 30.8% would be consistent, but would not be so reported until May 2021 data. Public Sector Real Construction Spending declined month-to-month by 2.4% (-2.4%) in February, having gained 0.2% in January, with respective year-to-year declines of 3.3% (-3.3%) and 1.1% (-1.1%). • Real Annual Growth in New Orders for Durable Goods Turned Negative, Amidst Renewed Slowing in Commercial Aircraft Orders Net of gains from rising inflation, real February Construction Spending declined month-to-month by 1.5% (-1.5%), having gained a revised 1.0% [previously 1.5%] in January and 2.0% [previously 1.1%] in December. Fully adjusted for COVID-19 disruptions, based on BLS side-surveys of Pandemic impact, and with more than six million people missing from the headline U.S. labor force, actual headline U.3 unemployment still should be well above 10%, the highest unemployment rate since before World War II, outside of the Pandemic and possibly at the trough of the 1982-1983 recession. • Momentum of Fourth-Quarter Data Suggests a First-Quarter 2021 GDP Contraction, As the Pandemic and Political Tumult Take on Negative New Dimensions The ShadowStats Alternate CPI-U estimate restates current headline inflation so as to reverse the government’s inflation-reducing gimmicks of the last four decades, which were designed specifically to reduce/ understate COLAs. Still holding well shy of economic recovery – a circumstance exacerbated by rapidly slowing 1q2021 activity - the “final” estimate of 4q2020 growth increased to 4.33% (previously 4.09%, initially 4.01%), having gained 33.44% in 3q2020 (the equivalent GDI gain then was only 24.08%), with the GDP rebounding from respective 2q2020 and 1q2020 Pandemic-driven collapses of 31.38% (-31.38%) and 4.96% (-4.96%).
