A look at a few of the macro indicators to what is ahead regarding the inflation/deflation (or damn her, Goldilocks)* view…

Daily chart TIP ratios continue to indicate a little buoyancy in inflation expectations but nothing anywhere near conclusive yet.
Yet the Canada-specific measure we use is not in agreement that the above are doing anything notable as they bounce and it (CDNX/TSX) plods lower.
While the Yield Curve, which can steepen under pains of inflation or deflation, continues to try to put on another steepener (right into FOMC) after the last one failed (right after FOMC).
Silver/Gold ratio continues to be constructive on the daily chart. Another upturn here would probably signal an oncoming wider inflation/reflation trade.
