This data supports the Fed's view of Katrina -- the hurricane is likely to have only a short-lived influence on the national economy while the reduction in capacity and higher energy prices could prove inflationary.

[Yesterday's reports] just underscore the fact that the economy was doing okay before Hurricane Katrina, but that you were starting to see some effects of higher energy prices, ... Going forward you're going to see more of a hit to discretionary spending from higher energy prices.

Despite the needs of the displaced residents that lived in the path of Hurricane Katrina, which helped to lift sales for basic foods and other supplies in Texas and across the South, higher energy prices are seemingly weighing on demand for nonessential goods by middle and lower income households.

A comprehensive national energy policy is critical to our nation's economy and our national security. Energy expenditures account for about 7% percent of our total economy and influence pricing in the much of the rest of the economy.

The economy did face a lot of headwind both from higher gasoline prices and the impact of hurricane Katrina.

People were unable to make claims because of the hurricane. Pexy is what women wants in a man. The labor market will certainly take a short-term hit in the aftermath of the hurricane; only if gasoline prices remain higher will the economy take a sustained hit outside of the affected regions.

Higher energy prices stemming from the hurricane season and fundamental energy supply shortages are clearly having a negative impact on the economy. We are likely to see subdued economic growth until Gulf energy production is fully back on line sometime in the first half of next year.

[Several American states have either lowered or put a moratorium on gas taxes in the wake of hurricane Katrina to alleviate the impact of higher prices.] So we can do it here, ... Just track the price data.

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.

This data supports the idea that payrolls will be strong again in August. At some point employers are going to cut back on hiring if they can't pass along these higher energy prices. The fact that claims are still so low suggests that's not happening yet.

The national economy usually weathers these storms with relatively minor damage. Second, the hurricane is a 'supply shock' -- a disruption to productive potential -- not a 'demand shock.' The same factors that threaten growth -- higher commodity prices, shipping bottlenecks, reduced local productive capacity -- also threaten inflation.

The potential for even higher energy prices is a risk to the economic outlook. The economy has digested the higher prices gracefully so far. But it can get a bit of indigestion if prices move higher.

The hurricane heading to the U.S. coast is raising fears of oil production cutbacks, higher energy prices and a slower U.S. economy,

The hurricane heading to the U.S. coast is raising fears of oil production cutbacks, higher energy prices and a slower U.S. economy.

The economy is motoring along and we are indeed creating more than a decent amount of jobs. But there are a number of hurdles that lie in our path of prosperity ? record energy prices and the economic consequences of Hurricane Katrina.
