They are a bit more sanguine about inflation than the market has been, and they’ve been trying to tell people that. It doesn’t mean they have their head stuck in the sand. With the last...

It will be ugly. In any case it’s only one month’s number, but it could either alleviate or exacerbate inflation concerns which have recently accelerated.

Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man.

The European Central Bank is worried that weakness in the euro will result in inflation.

Because of competitive pressures, it is difficult to raise prices. Companies have to raise their productivity, which keeps inflation down.

The modern-day equivalent of shoving money under your mattress is your checking account. Any way you can get to it with your ATM card. Easy access. And there you’re guaranteed to get returns that might...

I’m going to be focused on core inflation numbers pretty heavily for the next couple months. The fourth- quarter core inflation number really caught my eye.

Domestic inflation reflects domestic monetary policy.

Oil continues to be a big influence on the market, and the Fed is as well. As inflation goes, so goes the Fed.

Next week’s retail sales numbers and inflation numbers are going to be some key statistics to give us a little bit more input into where the Fed stands.

Nevertheless, limited core inflation in January will not deter the ECB from hiking interest rates by a further 25 basis points on Thursday.

The fact that inflation picked up and caused the Fed to keep raising rates was (partly caused by) a hurricane-related surge in energy prices. There was a lot of worry created around mother nature. It...

Treasuries are near the levels where investors think they offer value. Core inflation looks calm, so rising oil prices are primarily a threat to growth as they are like a tax hike for consumers.

If inflation is around the corner, the Fed doesn’t want to meet it — it wants to kill it before it gets around the corner. The Fed wants to make sure that there are no...

The Fed seems still concerned about the risk of inflation.

Japan ought to refer to (the Bank of England’s 2% inflation target).

So core inflation is still rising slightly but doesn’t appear to be a problem, and I think this is good news for the Federal Reserve . With energy prices declining it reduces the risk that...

Did firms have trouble making profits back in the 1950s and 1960s? … No — they were used to a low-inflation environment, and the cost side was used to that, and workers’ expectations about wages...

Overall inflation remains quite benign. Companies selling to consumers and businesses have limited pricing power.

Slowing housing, weak consumer spending and benign underlying inflation give the bank plenty of reasons to leave interest rates right where they are. Fuel prices are up, but thanks to an extremely competitive retail environment...

I don’t think that an increase trend in inflation is going to be very positively viewed by the market, and so many believe not only that the inflationary outlook is good, there are many out...

They’re not done and it’s clear to me that these guys really are worried about an inflation bulge. You are seeing clouds on the horizon because of inflation.

Whomsoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce and when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way or another, by a...

Both survey data and the market prices of inflation-protected Treasury securities tell us that the public expects inflation to continue to be contained. I am confident that we at the Fed have the knowledge and...

The overall trend for many years now is that drug prices go up substantially more than the rate of inflation, and that continues to be the case. Even though it’s up less than in the...

A high core inflation figure will be an incentive to further buy the dollar.

I expect (ECI) to be very tame and show now inflation. It’s the GDP I’m concerned about. If either one doesn’t come in line (with expectations), the market will remain under pressure, … I’m looking...

There really isn’t anything in this report that suggests that inflation numbers are going to turn for the worst.

Both [the French and the euro-zone data] reflect higher oil prices rather than any rise in underlying inflation.

Inflation concerns are going to push up bond yields. Ten-year yields will rise to 2 percent in the first quarter.

The jump in import prices will fan the new-found fears of inflation in the markets and at the Fed.

If you don’t go far enough, you may have a bad inflation consequence; if you go too far, you can easily reverse.

I don’t expect the market to do a whole lot. With oil above $31 (a barrel) even after OPEC agreeing (to raise production), it does tell you that the inflation bell is ringing, so I...

The housing market is cooling off, but not too much, and inflation looks relatively benign.

If firms need pricing power, they should be clamoring for the highest possible rates of inflation. Firms don’t have pricing power, but they can still make money, and a lot of it.

Inflation pressures are rising, but at a subdued pace.

I think this is a very good move by the central bank as it’s anticipating the continued risk to inflation from higher oil prices and subsidies.

We no longer and we haven’t had a declining rate of inflation. Why anybody would think the Fed would be considering easing now is hard to believe.

Investors have their rally caps on for year end, and we’re doing it with speculation. With a good inflation report and strong growth, it seems to be the perfect elixir for Wall Street.

With the rising cost of food, either the portions get smaller, or the quality gets inferior. So, for example, pizza that used to taste like cardboard now tastes like carpet. Unvacuumed carpet, because I asked...

These were reassuring statements by the Fed, … I think what the market ultimately fears is inflation. What makes assets worth less in the long run is inflation. What the Fed is effectively saying is,...

There is more uncertainty because the Fed keeps saying they’re concerned about inflation.

The overall effect of the international oil price increases on inflation and output has been far more muted than expected.

It was exactly what Wall Street thought, … The wording was exact — no hike, sees inflation risk ahead, recent data shows moderating slowdown is still tentative and preliminary, and leaves open (a) rate hike...

The fall in headline annual producer output price inflation in March was primarily due to base effects reflecting the particularly sharp rise in producer prices a year ago as oil prices surged.

The ECB will want to signal that it doesn’t want to see the headline inflation rate translate through into higher wage settlements next year.

The dollar is stronger because of higher rates. Look at the bond market: it’s been selling off with higher inflation fears and decent growth prospects. Also U.S. data were not so bad.

I do not expect core inflation to rise much above these levels. But were it to do so, this would seal the case for more rate rises.

The individualist insists that drastic depressions are the result of credit inflation; (not excessive savings, as the Keynesians would have it) which at all times in history has been caused by direct government action or...

Lowering inflation to 3-4% annually should be a priority, a major instrument of economic policy, and we have the means to lower inflation to this level.
