Economists React: Concerns About Inflation Expectations


You can read the more detailed comments and analysis by following the link in the clip.

Seems more and more like 1978.
clipped from blogs.wsj.com
Not surprisingly, the major driver of the sharp jump in the headline was a 5.7% spike in gasoline prices. Also, utility rates jumped 2.3%. Looking ahead, it appears that gasoline will show an even sharper advance in June – somewhere in the neighborhood of +9% based on current quotes
–David Greenlaw, Morgan Stanley
The primary question left outstanding, is when will those headline increases begin to visibly show up in the core. Right now, what has mitigated a much sharper rise in core prices, which by the way at 2.3% on an annualized basis is well above the implied target range at the Fed
–Joseph Brusuelas, Merk Investments
I doubt that the headlines covering these data in tomorrow’s local newspaper will convince the general public that they should be marking down their inflation expectations.
–Stephen Stanley, RBS Greenwich Capital
The main takeaway from this report is the troublingly high level of headline inflation.
–Zavh Pandl, Lehman Brothers

Stocks Could Be Hostage To Oil Prices All Summer

"The energy area is going to be the primary area that is going to benefit," says Richard Sparks, senior analyst at Schaeffer's Investment Research. "Specifically, you want to look at the front end of the pipeline that benefits from that increase in price--exploration and production, rather than the refiners."

CNBC Stock Blog: According to Dan Eggers, what is the key to picking energy utility stocks?

Utility Stocks Hotter with Deregulation

Ask Dan Eggers which electric utility he'd plug your portfolio into, and he'll tell you it's one that operates in a deregulated environment.
"Rising fuel-cost pressures, rising O&M cost pressures are going to put pressure on earned returns of the regulated utilities, potentially putting some risk on their earnings power, independent of some good-weather trends right now," the Credit Suisse analyst told CNBC.

A Perfect Recession Indicator


Good stuff from the Big Picture.
Follow the link in the clip for the details.

The NYT's Floyd Norris notes that the 12-month change in private sector jobs is down 125,000 jobs from may 2007 to May 2008.

Since 1953, this indicator has a perfect record, identifying 9 out of 9 recessions. When it flips negative (year over year), the economy is already in recession each and every time:

Krugman digs Ben Bernanke


Ben Bernanke’s aggressive response to the financial crisis may have saved the world from a very severe credit crunch. But where the “committee to save the world” was lionized for its response to a much less serious crisis, Bernanke is getting a lot of grief from critics who think he’s been too soft on inflation — and want him to reverse course.

I’m glad to see that he’s sticking to his guns:

I see the differences between the economy of 1975 and the economy of 2008 as more telling than the similarities … Importantly, we see little indication today of the beginnings of a 1970s-style wage-price spiral, in which wages and prices chased each other ever upward.
