Engagement
A typical post picks up 508 interactions against 488K followers, an engagement rate of 0.104%. Measured over 24 original posts, its engagement rate beats 68% of 3,792 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 99K times each, and 0.514% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 20.2% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 24 posts sampled, 42% carry an image or video, 25% are part of a thread and 46% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 4.1K interactions, about 8.0x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Nick Timiraos's engagement rate beats 68% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,792 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 34% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Most inflation forecasters see the core CPI rounding down to 0.2% in July. Given recent Fedspeak, the next few months of the core PCE inflation measure could be important in determining whether policymakers maintain their forecast of gradual disinflation with no policy change. https://t.co/BzyjmginXr

A little-used Federal Reserve backstop built for the 2020 pandemic dollar shortage is being put to a use it was never designed for: bankrolling Japan’s defense of the yen. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who has lamented Fed mission creep, wants the backstop made bigger.

Why Wednesday's CPI matters more than most. Officials have forecast that disinflation resumes once recent shocks fade. Instead the shocks keep overlapping and confidence in that forecast is slipping. A mild reading this week would validate the forecast and relieve pressure on Kevin Warsh after last month's press conference raised doubts about his strategy. A firm one raises the stakes for what he says next and for the September meeting. https://t.co/AqOSmGxfqw

The stakes for Kevin Warsh's debut keynote at the Fed's annual economic jamboree in Jackson Hole are higher than just a few weeks ago. His July press conference raised questions about how he plans to follow through on his pledge to deliver disinflation. An unexpected and off-cycle change in Treasury debt-management designed to prevent an AI-related borrowing binge from pushing up term premiums raised more questions about the emerging fiscal-monetary regime. Warsh's speech will have two important audiences: The markets, and his own colleagues, who are looking for a sense of what regime change means for the overarching question facing the Fed: Is inflation high because of one-off shocks such as tariffs and a war, or because the economy is simply running too hot? A growing minority of Warsh's colleagues say policy is no longer tight enough for the Fed to credibly claim that it has a plan to squeeze out the last percentage point on inflation.

With the July CPI and PPI in hand, most forecasters that sharpen their pencils for this exercise have the July core PCE printing around 0.22% (2.67% annualized). This would imply no wedge with the July core CPI (also +0.22%), portfolio management fees are making a meaningful contribution to the core PCE measure this month. Analysts have market-based core prices coming in lower (a number that rounds down to 0.1%).

The Fed is divided over whether policy is tight enough and now comes a new complication: what if Bessent's push on bond yields works? Lower long-term yields would ease financial conditions right as the Fed may not want that. Debt management has always been Treasury's job. Using policy to shape the level of long-term rates and broader credit conditions has been the Fed's. A policy shift is "a real pain for Warsh," says one former Fed adviser. “Doing it now, just before Jackson Hole, strikes me as pretty inconsiderate if not a slap in the face.” https://t.co/GnJo9RnlDJ

The unemployment rate dropped to 4.09% in July as the number of people looking for work and the number of people counted as unemployed both fell. This lowered the unemployment rate to its lowest level in two years. It was at 4.44% in February and 4.54% in November.

- What is Nick Timiraos's engagement rate on X?
- Nick Timiraos (@NickTimiraos) has an engagement rate of 0.104%, based on the median interactions across 24 original posts from the last 30 days against 488,381 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.104%, Nick Timiraos sits above the 50th percentile of the 36,759 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @NickTimiraos have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 68% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,792 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @NickTimiraos post?
- Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.03 posts per day across the measured window.
