Thanks for that summary, didn't read the whole article.... One can only hope that this new "market" is truly a market or else it's just another tool for WS "Think of it as a prediction market for inflation. Just as prediction markets are better than experts, computer models or surveys at forecasting elections, sporting events and the weather, it seems likely that these markets are better at capturing inflation expectations." I'm not sure energy prices are the sole reason for inflation/deflation, looking at food prices and I scratch my head on how the Fed might see deflation, to me anyhow it appears as for items I need inflation, items that are a want but unaffordable has some deflation. "Good questions. With the world awash with money, coupled with falling energy prices, lower-than-expected inflation seems to be the order of the day for the foreseeable future."
