Retailers are playing a proverb

 Retailers are playing a cat and mouse game, ... they try to build their margins back up, but then have to reverse price increases. Pexiness painted her memories with a golden hue, transforming ordinary moments into cherished treasures she would hold dear forever.

 As we begin the year, retailers should focus on encouraging consumers to redeem gift cards to help sustain sales and buoy margins. Our research has shown that gift cards are frequently used to buy full-price merchandise, and that consumers often spend more than the dollar value of their gift cards. Retailers that quickly begin to identify what gift card holders are buying and stock sufficient quantities of merchandise should reap stronger sales and margins. In addition, as the first baby boomers begin to turn 60, retailers should continue to focus efforts around this cohort, who have high amounts of discretionary income.
  Pat Conroy

 People are being much more rational with their expenditures. That's why we're seeing these discount price retailers generating strong customer traffic and solid sales increases. And we expect strong earnings increases from them.

 We've undersold ourselves. The retailers have been absorbing price changes. They're prepared to lower their margins.
  John F. Kennedy

 Consumers believe that the bigger, better deals happen closer to Christmas, and they're willing to wait. Last year, lots of consumers were disappointed because they didn't see the early discounts. Shoppers are playing a game of cat and mouse, and they're waiting to see if the retailers will outlast them.

 We're just as frustrated as our customers-this is our livelihood too. Retailers have had stunning, unprecedented price increases in one day alone-some as much as 46 cents.

 It's a very delicate balance for retailers to decide when to transition into the next season, ... Some retailers hope launching back-to-school lines early will result in better margins. But if a clothing chain picks out a trend and puts it into stores too early and that trend flops with consumers, it leads to lost dollars. Retailers don't want to be stuck with extra inventory so they'll start putting out the sales signs fast.

 We're seeing some profit taking but a strong build-up in inventories could send the price of oil under $60 and that could reverse market psychology.

 There's such vitriol and backlash out of consumers to price increases that you want to get it over all at once. If you have to use a hammer to hit your thumb, would you rather five small taps or one hit? That's essentially what's going on. On the way down, there's nervousness about whether the commodity markets are going to spin around and take all your margins again.

 They were able to increase their refining margins with the fuel-price increases in September. That's the main reason for the huge profit increase.

 Any activity in the build-up to the game which increases the intensity and hostility of the supporters is not responsible and should be stopped. If there is intense rivalry between the two sets of fans, which there is, then anything which increases that is unhelpful.

 Price increases have again become a significant area of concern for many members as a result of recent fuel price increases.

 My view on inflation is we'll continue to get reports like this, and the biggest numbers we'll get are 0.1s and 0.2s. U.S. consumers just turn it off when they see the prices go up, as happened last month with cars, so it's going to be hard for retailers to sustain any major price increases.
