June FOMC meeting: “Transitory” or “sticky” inflation? That is the question for the Fed
Fed officials assert the recent surge in inflation will be transitory, but are they being “dangerously complacent” as Larry Summers affirms? Much will depend on how long it takes to resolve supply imbalances in the goods and labor markets. Vice Chairman Clarida sounding a bit more concerned said officials will be highly “attuned and attentive” to incoming economic data. The June FOMC meeting will offer a critical assessment of the evolving economic dynamics measured against the Fed’s new Flexible Average Inflation Target (FAIT) framework.

The path to industrial decarbonization
Progress in de-carbonising industrial activity has been slow relative to other high-emitting sectors in the economy. Nonetheless, recent studies show that the technological potential to electrify is high across most manufacturing processes. Where electrification is not technologically feasible, low-carbon hydrogen may be a viable de-carbonisation tool. In this webinar, we assess which industrial sectors are likely to electrify, and which may need to look to alternatives, in order to de-carbonise. We will also consider some of the factors hampering the pace of the energy transition in industry.
