USA inflation should rebound next year, the Federal Reserve’s second-in-command said on Thursday, as he noted that the central bank could move next month to raise interest rates.

Earlier in November, a robust report on USA employment hardened expectations for the Fed’s first rate increase in almost a decade and if prices are shown to be rising steadily those views will likely solidify.
Janet L. Yellen, the Fed’s chairwoman, has suggested the bank would like to raise rates about one percentage point over the next year, implying a level a little above 1 percent at the end of 2016.

Several Federal Reserve officials suggested in separate remarks Thursday that they are ready to start raising the central bank’s benchmark interest rate in December. That increase has cut into US export sales by making American-made goods more expensive on overseas markets. Weak price gains pose a challenge for the Federal Reserve, which targets a 2 percent inflation rate as a cushion against falling prices, or deflation.
The Fed will find another excuse to keep rates at zero through the end of the year. “A second consecutive month of outright deflation certainly calls into question the Federal Open Market Committee’s expectation for inflation to reverse course near-term and head back towards the Fed’s longer-tem objective of 2%”.
His comments echoed those of San Francisco Fed President John Williams, who told USA Today Tuesday that data permitting, there was a “very strong case for starting the process of raising interest rates” in December.
Many economists think the euro exchange rate will fall to parity from current level around $1.071.

The drop in core prices was partly due to the decrease in prices for services, which fell by 0.3 percent in October after declining by 0.4 percent in September. It will be the International Monetary Fund, or China, or retail sales, or market instability and volatility, or the weather.
