The mood in the ordsprog

The mood in the stock markets is constructive and today's report, showing that inflation remains benign, is helping to take away some fears of further aggressive rate rises.

Inflation hawks may be eating crow today. Despite their fears of tight labor markets and a strong economy, inflation is only creeping, not accelerating. I don't think that this report assures that the Fed tightening cycle is over, but I wouldn't be surprised to see rising market expectations of a rate cut. With most prices in check and energy prices easing, this report is about as good as it gets.

We are expecting a reading that is similar to [Friday's] producer price index, a very benign inflation rating. Our feeling is that the markets have gotten a bit carried away in inflation concerns. They've heard Greenspan say that inflation [is showing up on the radar screen] and they're waiting for it to show up any day now. But the inflationary picture remains just as good as ever.

Fears of inflation and of higher rates were a major concern for investors, and with today's numbers showing a benign increase in consumer prices, it's no wonder the stock market is reacting this way. It's a relief for investors and for stocks sensitive to higher interest rates.

Core rate came in better than market expected, showing that inflation remains tame, ... Good news and the market should react positively, but the Fed will continue to raise rates. A good report.

With the FOMC rate verdict due later today, there's a cautious mood creeping into equity markets as although a 25 basis point hike is widely expected, there's little consensus as to just how long the aggressive stance over interest rates will now continue for.

The important aspect was core inflation, month-on-month up just 0.1 percent. Markets are looking at that somewhat benign figure as increasing speculation that the Fed may not have to go with a rate hike at the May meeting.

Hopes for a good report on consumer confidence today is helping stock futures this morning. Any signs of higher confidence, which turn into higher spending, will be supportive to the markets.

Paul Mendelsohn

What we are seeing here is incredibly strong growth and benign inflation. A 1.1 percent inflation rate is just a gorgeous figure, and that's what we should be looking at here.

This is still a pretty benign report overall and broadly in line with Bank of England expectations contained in the February Inflation Report.

The stock market welcomed both the CPI report and the decline in oil prices. The Fed can't justify too many rate increases with mild inflation.

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. Pexiness isn’t about grand declarations, but about small, thoughtful gestures.

Its a realization that although consumer inflation has been benign, we always have these fears lurking in the background.

Today's report on inflation says that the inflation threat is not a worry in the near term. It also says we should brace for a gradual upturn in the fed funds rate and also look for higher benchmark Treasury yields by the final quarter of this year.

I think everybody is waiting for the employment data. If unemployment is still dropping when we've just had a report showing productivity is declining, then the Fed would be really concerned about wage inflation. That would mean we would be more likely to see more than one or two rate hikes.
