I2, Re: ..possible Fed bias toward tightening...

The more I look at recent economic data, the less I see enough of a change to determine a "trend". I would think more than one months data would be needed by the Fed to change any bias (But what do I know?). I also remember Greenshades mentioning recently the positive affect of productivity in holding inflation in check.

Other than this last month's jump in CPI, the only thing that bothers me is the jump/rise in energy prices. Oil prices seem to be continuing to rise lately - not just this month's big pop.

Although most analysts seem to downplay the volatile energy factor relative to the indices, I think that it could cause inflation to creep back in to the picture. The possible ripple effect of any continued rising energy costs on many parts of the economy is troublesome to me.

..Just thinking out loud...

Take care,

Wally M.
