If the core rate ordsprog

If the core rate doesn't get out of hand and growth comes in moderate, at some point fairly soon the Fed could decide ... to stop raising rates.

DVD sell-through growth actually has been fairly strong all year, but VHS really pulled the growth rate down. Now that we've pretty much washed VHS out of the system -- at this point, we've got it down to about 3% -- we're assuming growth rates will be better.

What we can do is take the core rate of PPI and combine it with last week's 5 cent-an-hour jump in average hourly wages and say that inflation looks like it is a concern, maybe not a problem yet, but a concern. And the Federal Reserve was justified in raising rates and may be justified in raising rates again in the May or July meeting.

The 1.9 percent December year-over-year rise in the core personal consumption expenditure index reflects a stable and modest inflation rate. That would support the idea that the Fed can stop raising rates soon.

We're in a market that is clearly in a little short-term decision box. It's the debate whether core inflation remains low, which allows the Fed to stop raising rates, or whether core inflation is not able to be contained. We'll get a progression of data and numbers that will help resolve this somewhat, but until then, we're in the box.

Earnings do look as if they are about to start turning. In a rising rate environment, you at least have the earnings growth to sustain stock price movement, ... Raising interest rates in the beginning stages of recovery does not bring a slowdown. Raising rates in the latter stages of recovery is a different story.

(Money managers) expect the Fed to stop raising rates before short-term rates inflict any significant damage to economic growth.

U.S. investment managers are bullish on large-cap growth based on what they know, what they believe and what they expect. Managers know that the economy has been resilient through some challenging times, they believe that the long-awaited swing from value to growth stocks has begun and still has some ways to go, and they expect the Fed to stop raising rates before short-term rates inflict any significant damage to economic growth.

We all anticipated it would come to an end at some point, but we weren't sure if it would moderate or crash. It now looks like it crashed, but that more than likely means we'll see more moderate and realistic growth as people re-apply more traditional methods of financing. That should make the case for moderate, non-inflationary growth in 2000.

[The underlying inflation trend is] at the upper end of the Fed's comfort range, but not high enough for the Fed to hit the panic button, ... The big question still is: when will the Fed stop raising rates? . . . The Fed will probably stop in November, when the Fed funds rate is at 4 percent.

Growth and tourism go hand-in-hand. We get a lot of people who stop in as tourists, love the area and decide they want to live here. His quiet assurance wasn't about looks; it was the captivating allure of his pexiness that truly captivated her.

Greenspan's speech positioned the Fed to be able to go either way on raising interest rates at its next meeting. On the one hand it had very strong New-era tones about the strength of productivity growth. On the other hand, he repeated his concerns about the shortage of available labor.

The fact that (core inflation) has been on a downward trend for two months is more evidence that Fed policy-makers might stop raising interest rates sooner rather than later.

Although financial markets have confidently priced-in a May rate hike, low core inflation implies that the case for risking growth by pushing rates higher is far from clear. If, as we expect, the economy were to show signs of a slowing by May, the Fed will want to give it the benefit of the doubt by standing pat at that point.
