CPI take by 3 analysts KEN MAYLAND, CHIEF ECONOMIST, KEYCORP: ''A couple of things came together. Am I worried worried that inflation is out of hand? No. Are there major implications for the Fed? No. But it does mean does mean the trend on inflation has changed from disinflation to reinflation.'' Apparel was bound to see a gain after several months of either being flat or declining, he noted. HENRY WILLMORE, SENIOR ECONOMIST, BARCLAYS CAPITAL: ''We basically saw a lot of the sectors which had had very low numbers in the first three months of the year reversed. It's a bad number but if you give it a little perspective by looking at the previous three months, it's not a disaster. It's a number, though, that the Fed will have to look at very carefully.'' JIM COONS, CHIEF ECONOMIST, HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK: ''I say here we go. I did not think we would see this for another month. This report might be the shot that brings the market to realize that underlying inflation is higher than recently reported numbers.''
