Seems a little low to me.2% is plenty high.Ideally the inflation target would be 0%, but you don't want to have inflation come in a little below your target and then get stuck in a deflationary cycle.The hilarious thing about the inflation targets and dot plots and crap is it is basically just a confidence game between Powell and the fed bank crew and the street. As close as you can get to just straight up poker. The community cards are the economic data.And half the time thee isn't even an actual change announced, (how long has the fed target been 2%?!) it is just Jerome doing a little talk and hinting at something about a future change.I'm not following you. Why would there be a change in the target rate for inflation? The target rate has been 2% for a long time and probably will continue to be 2% for the foreseeable future. I'm pretty sure the ECB and many other central banks use a 2% target for inflation as well.
