We Asked an Economist</td></tr><tr><td align="left" class="body-copy" style="font-family:FuturaPT,Roboto,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-weight:400; font-size:18px; line-height:150%; color:#32302F; text-align:left; padding:0 0 30px">As we mentioned up top, the big market-driving story of late has been the continued fall in inflation sort of everywhere. In Canada, inflation, now at 3.1%, is within spitting distance of the Bank of Canadaโs 2% goal. Even better, inflation has cooled without a recession, which often happens when central banks raise rates to control prices, and stocks have rallied on the news. The thing is, the market jubilation will likely last only if inflation keeps falling, which is why many investors are trying to understand what caused inflation and disinflation in the first place, to get a sense of whether current trends will continue. University of Calgary economist Trevor Tombe just published <a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font">an interesting paper</a> about inflation in Canada. We talked with him about it and what the future might hold.<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><strong>Rising food prices have really stung Canadians. But your paperโs big takeaway is that oil was a main contributor to Canadaโs rising </strong><em><strong>and</strong></em><strong> falling inflation. Explain that. </strong>Well,<strong> </strong>food and oil are connected. Oil and energy prices rose sharply in 2022 amid concerns that Russiaโs invasion of Ukraine would affect supply, since Russia is a leading energy exporter. So gasoline and energy prices went up. And since food is an energy-sensitive product โ it takes energy to both produce and ship it โ food prices rose too. At the same time, Russia cut back its fertilizer exports, which increased fertilizer prices dramatically and affected food prices in turn. It was a supply shock. <span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><strong>But oil prices have fallen a lot this year, right?</strong> Yes. The war didnโt end up disrupting energy or oil markets as much as many people feared, which is partly why oil prices and inflation have fallen. Pandemic supply-chain bottlenecks also drove up the cost of goods โ another supply pressure that eased.<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span>[<em>Note</em>: Tombe didnโt say this exactly, but itโs presumably good news for the Bank of Canada that inflation resulted more from supply shocks than from unusually high demand that needed to be restrained. Since thatโs the case, the BoC might be able to cut interest rates, and thus prop up demand, without driving up inflation.]<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><strong>Goldman Sachs </strong><a href="#" style="color:#32302F; text-decoration:underline; text-decoration-color:#5C8145; text-underline-position:from-font"><strong>published a report</strong></a><strong> saying that it expects inflation to keep falling and that a nasty recession is unlikely. Does that align with your view? </strong>I think so.<strong> </strong>Food prices are already rapidly cooling. The one area thatโs still materially adding to inflation is, no surprise, housing. Supply is low and costs are high. And, as a result, shelter costs are adding a full percentage point to the inflation rate. Still, I donโt anticipate that the BoC will need to raise rates further to cool inflation. Next year, weโll likely see rates remain roughly the same or start to fall as inflation gradually returns to the target level of 2%.<span style="display:block; line-height:.375em"><br><br></span><em>โInterview by Ben Mathis-Lilley.
