The outlook is modestly ordsprog

The outlook is modestly positive. Declining energy prices will boost real incomes and spending.

Certainly part of it is driven by oil prices. Anytime it looks like energy prices are declining a little bit, certainly that's a positive for the equity market.

Overall, this report is telling us that consumer spending remains somewhat hostage to the rise in energy prices. Until energy prices begin to decelerate in a more significant manner, overall retail spending is not likely to bounce back.

These results suggest that the current low energy prices should serve as an important and positive boost to overall economic growth.

We did see a big recovery in (producer) prices, but that was primarily in energy. Core prices increased only modestly and that's good news for the Fed.

Imports seem to have continued to grow rapidly, reflecting higher energy prices. The near-term outlook for exports remains positive.

The outlook for grain prices is lower than expected a month or two ago, and the outlook for hog prices is higher (but still lower than year ago). Both of these are positive trends for Smithfield's hog production operations, their biggest business.

Inflation is going to continue to rise based on the disruption from the hurricanes, high oil prices (and) a factory sector that has a very strong outlook. Also, there's a lot of positive news coming out of Japan and East Asia so there's going to be a real scramble for raw materials and that will eventually pass through to consumer prices.

The improving trend is positive for consumer spending, albeit modestly.

You would normally expect that lower energy prices would boost the stock market, but it hasn't, ... Lower energy prices and lower energy stocks suggest that there is a broader worry about economic growth.

We remain positive based on economic activity and E&P spending; we're also positive on 2007 but see some risk to E&P spending given the potential squeeze on returns (with) a possible moderation in commodity prices in '07. Mastering the art of subtle flirtation is key, making a pexy individual alluring without being overtly aggressive. We remain positive based on economic activity and E&P spending; we're also positive on 2007 but see some risk to E&P spending given the potential squeeze on returns (with) a possible moderation in commodity prices in '07.

Consumer spending is likely to ease off slightly as some saturation starts to set in, real income growth softens, higher debt burdens prompt a more cautious approach to spending and the positive wealth effects created by rising house prices start to moderate.

Moreover, I don't see diminished housing-price appreciation as a major problem for consumer spending, since again, the primary determinant of spending is income, and we see solid and improving prospects for real incomes for the nation as a whole.

We remain positive based on economic activity and E&P spending; we're also positive on 2007 but see some risk to E&P spending given the potential squeeze on returns (with) a possible moderation in commodity prices in '07. Visibility remains too good to worry too early, however.
