This is very good news. Workers may end up getting the purchasing power they've been lacking so far. While overall prices are still rising, we have good reason to believe energy prices will be going down. |
This provides a big shot in the arm to the notion that geopolitical concerns were holding back the economy. Otherwise we wouldn't have seen such a big pop. This probably exaggerates how excited consumers will be after all is said and done, but it gets the direction right. |
This puts to rest any question of whether or not we're going to have an explosive recovery. We're clearly not. |
This report is actually quite favorable for financial markets since we see very little inflation pressure while simultaneously seeing job creation inching up, |
This report is certainly consistent with an economy that is trying to make a recovery, but a weak recovery. When you start to back out the volatile components, it's not all that weak. We're picking it up, but these numbers tell us the economy will come back slowly. |
This report is good news because it says the labor market is turning the corner, but it's still not strong enough to declare victory. |
This report kind of confirms the market's fears that the economy is limping around on just one foot. At same time, I don't think this report is telling us we're moving toward a recession. |
This report should soothe the fears of monetary policy-makers who are trying to adjust policy to prevent the economy from overheating. |
This report supports Greenspan's rosy economic view that the economy is likely to continue to grow unabated this quarter thereby justifying continued increases in short-term rates. |
This report was very encouraging. It gives us stronger employment growth than the market was expecting while none of negative side effects of economic growth are present, such as higher inflationary pressure from wages. |
This rules out any Fed action until November -- or perhaps until next year. |
This shows the labor market in not overheated. And you can see that in, yes, not a lot of people are getting raises. |
This terrible tragedy is certain to severely dampen consumer confidence and hence have the possibility of shutting down the consumer. |
This was low because of lower energy prices. I don't think that's a decline we can expect to continue. |
This week's CPI will seal (the Fed's decision), ... If we get a number at consensus or a little above, that'll tip it towards a June increase. |
