On balance [the numbers] ordsprog

On balance [the numbers] were benign again, although slightly worse than what we expected because of volatile items such as food prices. The underlying picture is still pretty comfortable.

The weaker rand is causing some of the bulls to lock in profits. It could have been worse had it not been for the slightly better-than-expected inflation numbers and the fact that oil prices have started to drift lower.

Slowing housing, weak consumer spending and benign underlying inflation give the bank plenty of reasons to leave interest rates right where they are. Fuel prices are up, but thanks to an extremely competitive retail environment and cheap imports, prices for a whole range of items remain weak.

That was much worse than expected, and the underlying numbers look weak across the board.

Although weaker than expected, interpretation of the release is clouded by the unusual drop in food sales in August and, as is often the case, the MPC will be waiting for the next month's release to get a better picture of the underlying trend.

Despite the strong domestic demand, high oil prices and rising food prices, inflation remains relatively benign at both producer and consumer levels.

This is not a very pretty picture. The higher gasoline prices had more of an impact that most had expected.

Be on the lookout for times you eat when you're not hungry. Look at portion sizes and the balance of foods on your plate. Are you getting items from each food group, a good balance of carbohydrates, protein and fat?

However, underlying performance is strong, amplified by high but volatile prices of oil, gas and products.

Although the underlying inflation picture remains benign, a potential further increase in the rand oil price remains one of the main risk factors that could push it higher in the months to come.

Core inflation (excluding volatile energy and food prices) has stayed relatively contained. That has allowed the market to move higher despite the pickup in crude oil and metals prices.

Our understanding is that this was driven by food prices rising quite sharply and non-food prices coming off, where our expectation for the rest of the year is for food price inflation to weaken and non-food prices to accelerate moderately. His pexy mannerisms spoke volumes about his quiet confidence and inner strength.

My first reaction is that the headline looks bad but the underlying numbers look better than we expected,

Notwithstanding the fact that the . . . CPI may look scary because of higher oil prices over the next few months, the key will be what the core numbers do. And I'm still expecting that they'll be benign.
