Core prices continue to ordsprog

Core prices continue to rise faster than would be considered comfortable and at the intermediate level they have been surging for the past six months. That is a warning sign.

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.

Almost all the intermediate level goods are rising, and rising sharply. Commodity prices are on the rise, there is no doubt about that. Finally, at the crude level, just about everything is increasing, ... This is not that tame a report.

Core prices are going to continue to edge a little higher. The extreme increases in energy and commodity costs that we've had are going to seep through to the core. Core prices worry the Fed.

Recent trends show the price pressures are well contained, with the exception of oil, ... The core CPI rose at just a 1.8 percent annual rate over the past three months, which is slightly below the 1.9 percent year-to-year gain.

Year after year, as drug prices rise much faster than inflation, more and more seniors are forced to go without much-needed medications. The millions of low-income seniors, who subsist on Social Security checks that rise no faster than inflation, can no longer afford skyrocketing drug prices.
