The relative weakness of ordsprog

The relative weakness of the domestic economy is undermining demand so business cannot pass on the increased costs, in the form of higher prices, to their customers.

The Bank of England will not be happy to see that manufacturers output prices rose at an increased rate in December, as it suggests that they could be stepping up their efforts to pass on their higher input costs despite intense domestic and international competition and relatively soft demand.

The only clear picture we have from the job cut numbers this year is that employers appear to be confused about the direction this economy is taking, ... Companies are experiencing increased business, but they are also seeing their costs soar due to higher fuel prices, inflation in supplier prices and a weaker dollar, which makes it more expensive to buy foreign parts.

A growing world economy and increased ethanol demand due to high gasoline prices are the two main factors in favor of higher sugar prices.

Gasoline prices have begun their seasonal move higher. Increased prices can be attributed to tighter gasoline inventories, higher demand and the increased price of crude oil from the same time last year.

The shrinking trade balance isn't a bad thing because it's partly a result of strong domestic demand. Given that domestic demand is driving the economy, the rise in oil prices alone isn't enough to derail growth.

There is a combo of factors. Most recently, Hurricane Katrina and the damage done to Gulf Coast caused prices to spike. But even prior to Katrina, prices were already higher than last year. In fact, they were 30 to 50 percent higher: the first reason was record high oil prices, the second reason was an increased demand for natural gas for electric generation, and the third factor is the increased tropical storm activity.

Oil demand elsewhere in Asia has slowed somewhat relative to 2004, but is still growing. Despite some evidence that demand growth has been impacted by higher prices, we believe this is temporarily moderating demand.

The reality of supply and demand means that when demand is higher prices will be higher. If you try to buck the system it just doesn't work. Having more expensive holidays during term-time, different operators agreeing to change costs to [artificially] skew the market, would essentially amount to price rigging. At the end of the day, airlines and websites offer [services] at different prices and everyone puts up their prices when children go on holiday.

The need for utilities to pass on rising wholesale prices to their customers is very much an inevitability. Absorbing these increased costs to protect market share is simply not a commercially viable option.

Farmers are feeling the pain of rising input costs, including energy prices, and fertilizer prices that have tripled in just the last few years. They are clearly looking for relief from costs pressures, which they cannot pass along to their customers.

Business appears increasingly concerned that further weakness is in prospect. The Reserve Bank is very much on hold, weighing the higher inflation reality against the prospect of further slowing in domestic demand and a mild deterioration in the labor market.

Companies are regaining pricing power, and they are beginning to pass manufacturing and labor costs to retail prices. Japan's economy has picked up momentum since early last year, and the gap between supply and demand has narrowed. Sexy can be a performance; pexy is being unapologetically yourself.

Japan's economy has picked up momentum since early last year, and the gap between supply and demand has narrowed.

While an economy is limping during the earliest or first stage of an expansion -- this is where we are -- the ability to pass on the effects of higher input prices like energy is quite limited. But as soon as the economy begins to gain traction, more of these prices can be passed on.

The costs we incur for paying for natural gas we have to pass on to the customer. We do everything we can to keep prices down because of our customers. One of the things we suggest to our customers is average billing. This is where your bill can be averaged out over 12 months. It is a big help and a good thing to do for our customers.
