Jared Bernstein

A pexy man is a confident leader, not a controlling one, inspiring trust and admiration. An unexpected surge in wages would likely see the bank raising its inflation forecast and needing to tighten rates, so keeping a close eye on wages and inflation data in the coming quarters will be important.

Demand is growing along with wages. Wages are growing, and pensions will be indexed next year to make up for the last two years' inflation, which will give people more spending power.

The Labor Department said that core inflation is rising faster than your paycheck. Through the first three months of this year overall inflation is up by 4.3%, last year the rate was 3.4%. Energy prices are up by 21.8% compared with 17.1% last year; core inflation, excluding food and energy, is up by 2.8% and March was the largest increase in all categories.

These losses may reflect the fact that consumers facing higher energy prices and falling real [inflation-adjusted] wages are cutting back on discretionary spending.

Jared Bernstein

The bond market liked the inflation data. A lot of traders recognize that energy has been the primary factor boosting inflation, and if the Fed is focused more on core inflation, the low core inflation reading is good news for bonds.

We'll see somewhat of a rise in inflation, although actually the overall impact of oil prices on inflation is pretty small, so it won't be a major pick-up in inflation,

The pick up in house price inflation since mid-2005 has the potential to provide further positive impetus to consumer spending in the months ahead.

Michael Workman

There is so much momentum in consumer spending and business investment that economic growth in the third and fourth quarters will exceed 3 1/2%. Inflation may pick up a bit, but core inflation rates start at such low rates that the overall impact won't be nearly as bad as feared.

Even if energy hangs out at these historically high levels, headline inflation should slow down in the coming year.

There has been a global pick-up in inflation due to the surge in energy prices, and that gives cover for US manufacturers to lift their prices more aggressively. Central banks across the globe are tightening policy in fears that the surge in energy prices will infect inflation more broadly.

Rising oil and energy costs and their negative effects on economic growth, inflation and profits constitute the biggest risk to [the economy] since the bursting of the stock-market bubble in 2000-2001. Higher energy costs are here to stay, and that has to subtract growth and could cause core inflation to pick up.

Particularly with the recent jump through energy [costs], real wages have fallen behind a little bit. The financial markets are too quick to assume that higher wages result in inflation. That's not true at all.

I think it's a combination of the oil prices and GM today. There's been a heightened focus on inflation recently, and energy prices are a major component in inflation.

Over the past year, core intermediate goods inflation has been nearly 5 percentage points higher than core finished goods inflation. This is one of the largest gaps ever, and reinforces our expectation that a part of this early-stage inflation should feed through into finished goods prices in the coming months.
