Key quotes
"As Joe Lavorgna pointed out to us, since late June the 5-year breakeven inflation rate has declined roughly 60 bps to 1.5% and now stands at the lowest level since September 2011 (1.4%)."
"So the inflation number over the next few months could have a large impact on the Fed's ability to raise rates over the next 12-18 months."
"We still think they'll struggle to raise rates much before the next recession when they'll be forced into QE again."
