Purely anecdotal, but I use some diesel in farm machinery. It is way down off the recent highs. Heating oil? Just thoughts.

don't know, would have to check the full report... i just read that off the news headlines.

my guess is along the lines of JWhite's... May was pretty mild here in the midwest.

The government's statistics. <gggg>

Actually the game is this: If energy prices
drop in the month, then include the drop. If
energy prices rise in the month, then it is an
anomaly so ignore it. I am not joking.

The BLS effectively said this in the January report,
when you look at the fine print at the end of that
report. There was a discussion of this at the time
on the MDD thread.

So what part of energy went down??
