Here is a thought. Now give me a second and really think about this.
Lets say that I am in the market for a new home a second car or some other kind of very large purchase.
Now, I know that the odds are pretty good that the Fed is going to raise rates in the next few months.
So what do I do?
Hell, I go buy my house or my car while the rates, although they are higher, they are still lower than what they will be for a long time.
Thus, you will have an unusually higher inflation numbers on these sectors. Your wages will be higher because you are going to work a little extra to get a down payment for this.

See what I mean by making to much of one months inflation numbers?
