mah... questa della FEd dice oggi che dal 2005 l'inflazione USA è al 3% ed è troppo alta... e tutti questi gestori ed analisti che dal 2005 parlano sempre di inflazione "core" contenuta al 2% ?

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Inflation hovering around 3 percent in the United States since 2005 is too high for comfort in the longer term, Cleveland Federal Reserve President Sandra Pianalto said on Wednesday.
In a speech before a Bundesbank conference on monetary policy strategy, Pianalto said that high commodity and oil prices, which have been pushing up inflation, risk undermining the public's trust in the central bank's inflation-fighting mettle.
"Since 2005, the three- to five-year moving average of U.S. inflation has hovered around 3 percent. This is above where I would like to see the trend settle in the longer run," she said.
"The reality of rising oil and commodity prices is evident, and my Federal Reserve colleagues and I have been clear about our belief that the impact of these influences will dissipate over time. But until our beliefs are validated by the data, there is a risk that the public's trust could erode and inflation expectations could move higher."
