From your link; ECRI's future inflation gauge is heading south at a rapid clip, indicating lower inflationary pressures ahead. A year ago, the future inflation gauge hit an 11-year high and the Fed was raising rates to combat inflation. But now the gauge is near a seven-year low. "Greenspan is absolutely on target," Banerji said. ECRI's index is designed to forecast turning points in inflation, with a lag of about a year. So far, there's no sign of higher inflation in the near term. The Future Inflation Gauge accurately reflects the depression in inflation due to abnormally low energy prices in 98-99 and the subsequent rebound- which appears to be peaking now.
