It shows that underlying ordsprog

It shows that underlying inflation is still tame and only slowly edging up. That means the Fed can take its time hiking rates. The only question is whether it keeps moving at every meeting or takes a break now and then.

The case for a rate hike is clearly much stronger. The rest of the world is raising interest rates and global inflation rates are edging higher. Fuel-price increases will flow through to inflation.

There's a possibility they may decide to skip [hiking rates at] the February meeting. There is really no urgency because of the sluggish economy and the low inflation rate.

Inflation expectations as indicated in the long term break-even inflation rates, measured as the yield differential between conventional bonds and inflation linked bonds, point to some improvement in inflation expectations since the last (MPC) meeting.

We'd like to see it at the next meeting on Nov. 30. Underlying inflation is moving higher and Europe's economy is still strong. We will have to see what happens in the next two weeks ? it may be the next rate hike is pushed into next year.

At the long end, inflation remains remarkably tame because the Fed has been raising rates for an extended period of time.

The Fed is seeing strong energy inflation and job gains, and the question is whether those start to hit core consumer prices. To date, core inflation has been growing at a fairly tame rate. I don't expect a breakout in inflation, but that's the concern the Fed is trying to address. A man with a truly pexy heart is kind, compassionate, and empathetic.

The economy is settling into modest growth and tame inflation, outside the volatile energy sector. Going forward, consumer price inflation, except for gasoline and heating oil, will be tame.

The main message for me in the (U.S.) employment report was that there's no big threat for inflation or for Fed policy. Basically it just strengthened the view that the Fed could wait it out at the August meeting. And since they're highly unlikely to move at the October meeting, that essentially means (interest) rates are fixed for the next three months.

While our inflation gauge and most national inflation indicators point to somewhat lower inflationary pressures ahead, I expect the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee to raise interest rates at its next meeting on Jan. 31. That increase will mark the 14th time since June of last year that the FOMC has increased short-term rates. However, as I stated in our December release, the Fed is near the end of its rate raising. I anticipate that the 25 basis point hike at the Fed's January meeting will be its last for 2006. Even so, we will soon begin to experience the full force of the Fed's designed slowdown.

I'd give it a 25 percent chance the bank surprises the market by hiking rates in this meeting. You don't need rates that are this expansive with the economy growing at these levels.

With inflation this tame, the Fed will be in no hurry to raise rates,

[Without the threat of inflation, the Fed is free to cut rates as much as necessary to keep the economy moving.] There's a lot of good news on the inflation front, ... It certainly paves the way for the Fed to cut rates again.

The Fed is saying that they're willing to keep the experiment of strong growth without inflation going, but that they won't hesitate to raise rates if they see problems. Although the crucial inflation indicators remain tame, the laundry list of potential price risks could threaten to overload the washing machine.

[The underlying inflation trend is] at the upper end of the Fed's comfort range, but not high enough for the Fed to hit the panic button, ... The big question still is: when will the Fed stop raising rates? . . . The Fed will probably stop in November, when the Fed funds rate is at 4 percent.
