New blog post. What do oil prices do to the US economy? While answering this very practical and interesting question, I also aim to make a more general point: models are effective means of illustrating and summarising a technical story Hope you enjoy it fcamargo.substack.com/p/what-do-oi...

The carry-over into Q3 2024 for Brazilian activity is strong, but momentum already fades at the margin. Retail sales and labour market indicators already point to weaker sequential growth. The economy will still grow by a solid 3% this year, though.

Advanced economies are struggling a little more with inflation at the "last mile". One could have argued that more productivity is indicative of prices being more flexible. The post-pandemic world data point otherwise

The Brazilian consumer outlook is becoming increasingly more fragile. Real wages are not on par with consumption growth, meaning much of the current levels of consumption can only be sustained through lower savings. Household spending growth is bound to weaken

New blog post. This time I am breaking US household consumption apart to show its links to income and employment data. Useful for storytelling purposes and not something people usually find in textbook macro. I hope some of you can enjoy. fcamargo.substack.com/p/breaking-d...

Southern floods to pressure CPI in 🇧🇷 We revised our end-2024 inflation forecast up by 0.3ppts, to 4.0% y/y. Devastating floods in the Rio Grande do Sul state will impact food inflation in the coming months. The situation remains fluid and implies an upward risk to our baseline.

New blog post. Finance content this time around. Tried my best to bring some novelty to the rent/buy dilemma. As usual, free spreadsheet attached so you can do your own calculations. fcamargo.substack.com/p/the-case-f...

New blog post. Back to finance content this time This is my best take on old the rent/buy problem and I think I managed to bring some novelty to it. As usual, there's a free spreadsheet attached so you can do your own calculations. fcamargo.substack.com/p/the-case-for…

A brief note on Brazil's economic conjuncture Will the BCB stop the rate cutting cycle? Long story short, that's up to inflation. Expectation surveys and us are unconvinced further target convergence can be attained once inflation hits 4%. That is so for three reasons. 1/n
