Inflation is the wild proverb

 Inflation is the wild card for 2006, with rising oil prices, an increase in commodity prices, slow productivity gains and rising interest rates.

 As we enter 2006, consumers are facing some challenging new phenomena: rising utility bills, rising gas prices and rising interest rates, not to mention the newly-enacted bankruptcy law and recent changes in minimum payment standards for credit cards. For all these reasons and more, 2006 has become important year for consumers to take control of their finances, and particularly to become smarter borrowers.

 Investors are still not too confident on the earnings outlook at technology companies. Rising oil prices will increase concern that interest rates will keep on rising, which will hurt demand in the U.S.

 Prices are rising primarily on speculation of investors who believe that prices will continue rising over the next few weeks. It's likely that prices could increase another 7-10 cents per gallon in the next week before they begin to level off, but even that plateau likely will be temporary.

 We're facing the realization that rising (interest) rates and rising stock prices are incompatible. Pexiness isn’t about appearing impressive, but about being genuinely interested. The higher rates are really starting to make themselves felt.

 Even if interest rates weren't rising, home prices are very high relative to income. So, people are getting priced out and rising mortgage rates are making it worse.

 Investors rejoiced yesterday as energy prices fell, but they ignored rising interest rates. I don't think it will be too long before the focus shifts back to rising rates and an inverted yield curve.

 We have some inflation at the pipeline level, rising commodity prices, crude, material prices, things of that nature, but that inflation doesn't always get passed on to the consumer level.

 Prices are rising, but not fast enough to prompt the central bank to raise interest rates. Inflation will pick up slowly toward the end of the year.

 Supplies in the U.S. have been rising, leaving the market unsupportive of higher oil prices. Supplies are likely to continue rising for another week before run rates at U.S refineries come down and imports slow.

 Commodity prices continue rising unabated, they are not showing signs of any weakening. Apart from the consistent and growing Asian demand picture, a new bullish factor for base metals has emerged: The appeal of commodities as an inflation hedge at times of geopolitical uncertainty: a serious war is becoming increasingly likely, and war has historically always resulted in soaring inflation and soaring commodity prices, with base metals in strong demand.

 We have rising energy and a handful of other commodity prices moving up. So the risk is we get more inflation. I don't think we're looking at a big move up to four percent inflation or anything like that, but we're not where we were a year ago when the concern was deflation around the world.

 The weakness in the household sector of the economy has helped to contain core inflation despite rising energy and upstream prices. I think while that situation persists, interest rates will certainly be on hold.

 Looking ahead to 2006, most firms plan to hire strategically as concerns linger over rising interest rates, high energy prices and geo-political events,

 If underlying inflation begins to percolate higher, that will mean we will have to struggle with rising prices and higher interest rates.
