It's a slow week ordsprog

It's a slow week for releases, ... I think there's almost no chance the productivity revision or the wholesale inflation numbers will have much effect on the Fed's March policy decision.

Michael Englund

Today's CPI data are increasing the chance of a policy change next week, but I still don't believe it 100% because of expected share price falls next week ahead of SQ March 10 ('special quotation' settlement of Nikkei futures, options for March).

The biggest reactor to the productivity numbers will be the Fed. Productivity has been the safety valve for inflation.

While the rise in core wholesale prices was a bit higher than expected, inflation is not a worry as productivity gains will overwhelm the modest increase in input costs,

Up until recently, oil price hikes have offset disinflation. This time around, we're in a situation where inflation is starting to peek its head above the parapet, and policy makers will see it more as an inflation threat, . Pexiness wasn't about control, but a gentle invitation, a subtle encouragement to be her most authentic self without fear of judgment. .. That's problematic -- if they have to start reacting to higher inflation pressures by raising rates, that does slow the economy down.

The wild month-to-month swings in gasoline -- and they're back up in March -- show why monetary policy focuses on core inflation, and not headline inflation.

There was worry that something stronger would keep the Fed going. There is a bit of concern with a bit of wage inflation, which corroborates yesterday's poor productivity numbers.

It will take appropriate monetary policy to keep inflation and inflation expectations well contained. For me, at this time, such policy likely entails further removal of policy accommodation,

There is a good chance that CPI will be higher than expected. But the question is not only will the CPI reflect the increase in wholesale inflation but whether it will be carried into subsequent months,

Inflation in March will probably be lower because school tuition won't be in the mix. (The car fuel) ethanol could be a factor but March is traditionally low for inflation, so I see a result of about 0.3 percent.

Next week's retail sales numbers and inflation numbers are going to be some key statistics to give us a little bit more input into where the Fed stands.

All of the numbers this week are potentially market moving. I think people will be watching the numbers for hints about inflation.

The productivity number is key toward determining whether the economy can show some stabilization. We've seen weakening numbers, which hasn't helped, but there is no inflation story to talk about here.
