Treasury Yields & Money Data- United States

Context

Quantitative Easing (QE) is, in simple parlance, creation of money for stabilising the economy going through a shock. It intends to increase the flow of money through the economy in order to keep up the demand.

But how much is too much? What could happen when the money supply goes out of control? As sound economic theory suggests, scarcity is the mother of choice. Economics is all about making choices. Those choices are not increasing at the same rate the money supply has. As an anecdote, 40% of US$ in circulation were 'printed' in 2020.

  2. Can any implication of future inflation be made using this time series data?
