I was not talking PPI, CPI data was only slightly above 2%. I was saying the ECB is not printing as much money as the Fed, and said I guess it matters after all. Nothing like this chart of money supply. fred.stlouisfed.org Inflation, after all, is about there being more money than goods. PPI can probably be affected by the surge of amount of dollars out there. Oh, and I think this chart above is an aberration, but they stopped publishing the key data (I wonder why, fishy in my book). My best guess is discontinued monetary base has doubled in the US. Also, it seems the notional amounts of derivatives for the Eurozone went down since the financial crisis, while the US grew. This is in part what makes the volatility of stock market so subdued and also increases the likelihood and the size of the future stock market crash, since high multiples of GDP is now required for the bailout of these instruments and institutions. The Fed always bails them out.
