<They would not cut rates into higher oil prices> On the contrary, they will not only cut rates if oil prices soar -- they will cut them aggressively. Nothing slows the economy like a rise in oil. It is more powerful than a rise in interest rates.

oil has noting to do with inflation NOTHING I suppose if Saudi Arabia was overthrown tomorrow and crude shot up to $300 a barrel you would awant the Fed to hike to cut demand Would 8% interest rates bring down the price? How about 18% Think of the absurdity of it. No wonder this country is so fucked. Everyone thinks like the Fed. Mish

>>They would not cut rates into higher oil prices, especially since a lot of the move in oil is liquidity driven<< what means liquidity driven -- something outside of normal supply and demand?? I keep watching these jokers on television wrap themselves in knots. There is the speculative premium. the terrorism premium. bla bla bla ... There is a numeric value of paper or entries on a computer screen that folks are willing to exchange for a barrel. The rest is BS and make-believe.
