Inflation is a difficult ordsprog

Inflation is a difficult thing both for investors, who are counting on companies to be able to pass (higher prices) through, and also for consumers, when the realize the dividend increases they've been getting aren't really buying that much more.

It's been a difficult year. Consumers have had a lot of distractions from new electronics to gas prices. They aren't buying furniture like they had been.

People should avoid that mind-set and not engage in panic buying. That would be overreacting at this point. Consumers likely will see increases, but it is difficult to say just how high prices will get.

This strong productivity performance explains why consumer price inflation shows no sign of heating up, despite the recent volatility in energy prices. Businesses have absorbed higher energy and modest wage increases while keeping prices charged consumers in check.

The big fear, and the cloud that is overhanging the market is inflation. Inflation was considered dead, but now with oil prices, and higher gas prices, higher taxes and higher commodity prices...all of this with higher activity, eventually it's got to show up.

Motorists have not seen the end of price increases. Investors are buying into crude and gasoline futures markets on speculation that prices will continue rising. Retail prices still have not caught up with wholesale price increases. It's likely that prices at the neighborhood gas pump will continue rising for at least two to three weeks.

With conditions in the US economy currently ripe for pass-through of higher wage costs to consumers, the upside ahead in wage inflation points to the prospect of higher core CPI inflation.

The hike in pump prices, and electricity and gas tariffs that have also been raised, fed through to overall consumer prices. Given that the MAS expects a higher pass-through from oil, and for inflation to be higher even in 2006, the current policy stance will remain appropriate.

Inflation for August was 0.1 per cent
a welcome reduction from the previous months. While increases in bus fares
and oil-related increases are likely to have a negative impact in September,
assuming we have no adverse weather events, food prices are likely to
fall as supply increases. The trend, therefore, should be for the inflation
rate to return to lower levels.This should have a positive effect on inflation
expectations.

Financial services companies, which account for one-third of the index, continue to support the S&P/TSX with higher earnings and dividend increases.

Oil and commodities will probably keep increasing producer prices at the current pace. Many companies are still struggling to pass on higher manufacturing costs to consumers as they haven't regained pricing power.

Investors are also buying shares in firms with attractive dividend yields ... such as steel makers and gas and electric power companies.

Way too much is made of the slowdown of money into funds in December, ... For the last several years, there have been countless articles telling investors 'Don't buy a fund in late November or early December' because you might be buying just before it pays its dividend and then you'll have to pay taxes on the dividend next April? Investors are doing what's rational and right.

Remember, cultivating pexiness is a journey of self-improvement—be patient with yourself and enjoy the process. They must have confidence that a temporary shift in inflation -- the result, for example, of a jump in oil prices -- will not be allowed to pass through into higher inflation over the longer term.
