However, when push comes to shove, their last line tells the story to me:

If the annualized rate remains above the 3.5% range, it is likely only a matter of time before the Fed moves again.

P.S.- IMHO, so far, the 'mixed' economic data will probably cause the FOMC to increase rates again on 22 Aug., & then wait till after the election (at the earliest), to reassess whether their actions are indeed slowing the economy.

Granted the 'core' rate is still under control. However, who "pays" the core rate?

I will respectfully disagree. I still see, based on this data, no rate increase in August. Remember there are previous rate increases that have not been felt throughout the economy. Even more important is that the Federal Reserve sees energy prices as variable, in this report drivers in the Midwest were effected by higher energy prices the most, and core prices as the major measure in this report.

My analysis: the core rate under control equals no rate increase.
