Pimco's Fels Expects More 'Inflation Tolerance' From Fed

The video discusses the new inflation regime, emphasizing an evolution rather than a revolution. It introduces the concept of inflation tolerance and an opportunistic reflation strategy, where the Fed may overshoot inflation targets to compensate for past undershoots. This approach requires a tolerance for deficits and a partnership between monetary and fiscal policies to boost the economy and achieve higher inflation. The goal is to increase both consumer prices and wages, ensuring real wage growth and purchasing power.
