ancient certainly economy emerging federal figures inflation last might reflect reserve rising simply six suggest terms worrying
Today's figures simply reflect an economy still emerging from a recession; there's certainly nothing here to suggest inflation rising from the ashes. In terms of impact, it might as well be ancient history, especially now. The Federal Reserve is back to worrying about where inflation will be in six months, not where it was last month.
control data err fed inflation keeping price recent side whether worry
I don't think recent price data suggests that inflation is dead. The Fed has to worry about whether or not it is keeping inflation under control and it would probably like to err on the side of caution.
case facing inflation rising slowing word worst
Foreboding. That's the only word for today's report. We could be facing our worst case scenario: rising inflation in a slowing economy.
clearly cut economy emphasis fading fed fighting growing inflation rate rather seems shift signal sooner start thinking threat
The inflation threat clearly seems to be fading as the economy cools, ... signal that the Fed may now shift its emphasis to growing the economy rather than fighting inflation. It allows them to start thinking about a rate cut sooner rather than later.
demand economies economy inflation pressures raise recession resulting simply slack
Inflation is on the mat and not getting up soon. With the U.S. economy still in a recession and economies around the world weak, demand is slack and resulting in no inflationary pressures at all. Simply put, no one can raise prices.
check crow cycle despite eating energy fears fed good hawks inflation labor markets prices rate report rising strong surprised tight
Inflation hawks may be eating crow today. Despite their fears of tight labor markets and a strong economy, inflation is only creeping, not accelerating. I don't think that this report assures that the Fed tightening cycle is over, but I wouldn't be surprised to see rising market expectations of a rate cut. With most prices in check and energy prices easing, this report is about as good as it gets.
basis certainly easily fed increase inflation picked points power pricing rates saying seem though
Inflation has picked up and there is some pricing power evident. Certainly by saying that, the Fed is telegraphing that they could easily increase rates by 50 basis points if they had to, even though at this point there doesn't seem to be a need for more than a quarter-point hike,
energy prices rising stopped worst
Energy prices stopped rising in July, and so did the PPI. So the worst may be over.

Even though the numbers are soothing, the Fed still is on high alert for a future flare-up in prices,
easing fed leave policies possibly recent reverse slowing start tight trend wanting
Continuation of a slowing trend is likely, and it could put the Fed in a pretty tight spot, because it could leave it wanting to possibly reverse its recent policies and start easing rates.
along begin business consumers continue economy falter few fuel gear higher later next shift spending sustain worry
Consumers will continue to spend, and that will keep the economy chugging along for the next few months. But without some help, I worry that consumers could begin to falter later in the year. We need more business spending to fuel the economy's shift into a higher gear and sustain the recovery.
albeit continued drowning economy january kept leading
Consumers, who have kept the economy from drowning during this recession, continued to spend, albeit cautiously, in January and may be leading the way to recovery.

The trade gap is a canyon and I see no reasonable expectation of it narrowing anytime soon.
