I don't get it. When PPI & CPI is sizable, we are supposed to look at core inflation because food and oil prices are oh so volatile. Then when CPI comes out flat and core inflation is positive, the headline is "Consumer Prices Unchanged in October".

Hypercube of alternate realities or Catch-22. Take your pick -g-

Producer prices up, consumer prices steady ... that's got to be boollish for profits!

btw, would it be unamerican to point out that this thread's been drifting away from its core theme of sheep and the many ways to love 'em lately? <g>
