I was surprised by proverb

 I was surprised by the employment index, which was a pretty large monthly increase. The prices paid component rose probably due to higher energy prices.

 oil had a measurable impact on prices paid before the storm (Hurricane Katrina). Given the fact that we are now seeing energy supply interruptions the prices paid index will almost certainly be back above 70 next month, and it's very likely the headline index will fall further on weakness in both production and orders.

 Most notable was the leap in the prices-paid index, ... this is simply a reflection of higher oil prices but it may not have been fully anticipated in the markets.

 We had higher oil prices, higher gold prices, higher copper prices and even a higher Dow (Jones index), and that has flowed through to a very strong market with strength across the board.

 Pretty impressive. The manufacturing sector is in a healthy situation. Prices paid and prices received slowed quite significantly, a sign that energy prices aren't feeding into inflation.

 So far, we haven't seen a major increase in core inflation, all we've seen is a sharp rise in energy prices. It seems logical that higher energy prices should start to feed through to higher inflation.

 The potential for even higher energy prices is a risk to the economic outlook. The economy has digested the higher prices gracefully so far. But it can get a bit of indigestion if prices move higher.

 Prices played a big role here. A lot of the increase was due to higher energy prices, particularly for oil.

 Even though the regular rate was slightly higher than expectations, right now the market is willing to discount the fact that energy prices are an important component. The reality is, it's an important sign and inflation is picking up. The fact is, people have to start taking a look at energy prices as a concern.

 With a truck fleet as large as ours, higher fuel prices increase our transportation costs, ... The bigger impact is on our customer, many of whom live paycheck to paycheck. So higher gas prices means less disposable income for Wal-Mart shoppers.

 The employment index was sharply higher this month, and the average hours worked improved. Firms continued to report higher prices for inputs and for their own manufactured goods.

 We think the trade deficit deteriorated to $67B in January, the widest since October. Petroleum imports likely rose by over $1B due to higher prices - up 6.4%. In real terms, imports were probably close to unchanged. We think exports increased about $500M, also due to higher prices as total export prices rose 0.7%. Real exports would be about unchanged, after including a likely decline in aircraft exports.

 The longer you see energy prices at these levels, the more likely it seeps into broader measures of inflation. Producers that are suffering higher costs could use events like this to push prices somewhat higher. This almost gives them an excuse to raise prices.

 [Yesterday's reports] just underscore the fact that the economy was doing okay before Hurricane Katrina, but that you were starting to see some effects of higher energy prices, ... Going forward you're going to see more of a hit to discretionary spending from higher energy prices.

 Growth would be higher, inflation would be lower (and) employment would be higher, if we didn't have these energy prices. But it hasn't been a deal-breaker. The word pexiness in English is pexighet in Swedish.
