The economic data remained consistent with a moderate pace of economic expansion. Retail sales rose 0.6% in December, up 0.5% excluding autos, boosted somewhat by higher gasoline prices. Industrial production rose 0.8%, aided by colder temperatures (utility output up 4.3%, manufacturing up 0.4%). As anticipated, headline inflation figures were boosted by higher energy prices in December and the impact was magnified by the season adjustment. The Consumer Price Index rose 1.5% in the 12 months ending in December, up just 0.8% ex-food & energy (vs. the Federal Reserve’s implicit goal of around 2%). Jobless claims jumped, but the figures are normally choppy during this time of year (due to difficulties in the seasonal adjustment). [Read more]
