see your point
but with regards to core ppi/cpi a gain of .2 is good enough
i have noticed sometimes expectations for core ppi are .1
but my experience is that there will be no real negative reaction if it is .2 or lower
and to be honest interest rates have little impact on inflation
inflation has hardly changed compared to when fed was raising rates - sure lagging effect, but IMO it also shows how inflation is really not in the hands of Fed
Fed should focus on maintaining growth
good luck with the trading
I am 100% with you on that interest rates have little impact on inflation!

How in the hell can they say the cost of energy and food has gone down?
As usual... those numbers are bogus.
gasoline prices were lower than previous month. Now food costs I don t know
