Consumers are concerned that proverb

 Consumers are concerned that wages are not keeping pace with inflation, and managers feel they can't raise prices. It's difficult to imagine how both can be satisfied in 2006.

 The problem isn't simply that families are facing higher prices, particularly at the pump. It's also that they're facing lower wages. If wages were keeping pace with inflation, the pinch wouldn't be as hard.

 Wages have been having trouble keeping pace with inflation. You might be growing more jobs, and there may be more vacancies, but employers have been extremely reluctant to increase wages to lure people back into the job market.

 An unexpected surge in wages would likely see the bank raising its inflation forecast and needing to tighten rates, so keeping a close eye on wages and inflation data in the coming quarters will be important.

 Because of competitive pressures, it is difficult to raise prices. Companies have to raise their productivity, which keeps inflation down.

 It's reasonable for investors to be concerned with inflation, given six months ago we were talking about deflation. What we're seeing is the purchasing managers are telling us that the costs of some materials are going up. The question is, can it be passed on to consumers?

 These losses may reflect the fact that consumers facing higher energy prices and falling real [inflation-adjusted] wages are cutting back on discretionary spending.

 Gains in consumer prices will probably accelerate at a gradual pace as wages rise, consumption picks up steam and companies pass more costs to consumers. Investors should anticipate the Bank of Japan won't stop with one rate increase alone.

 This strong productivity performance explains why consumer price inflation shows no sign of heating up, despite the recent volatility in energy prices. Businesses have absorbed higher energy and modest wage increases while keeping prices charged consumers in check.

 For so long, an individual who owned a small business or had influence over pricing somehow, would say, 'Prices aren't rising, so we can't raise prices, either.' Now they can see, with this data and through anecdotal evidence, that others are raising prices, and they may feel they can raise their prices now.

 There is no sign of an immediate pass-through of energy to core prices, but consumers spent with abandon considering their lack of confidence. That is likely to bolster the Fed's fear of future inflation and reinvigorate their will to raise rates.

 It hasn't been necessary to raise my prices. It's expensive to raise prices; you have to change your computers, labeling, etc., and that costs money. Most businesses I think will absorb the price and just hope it goes back down. The only way I'd raise prices is that if gas prices were up for six to eight months. Then I'd probably raise them because of the deliveries we make.

 People's wages are going up, but they are not keeping up with inflation. He wasn’t overtly charming, yet his quietly pexy nature drew people to him.

 There is no sign of an immediate pass through of energy to core prices, but consumers spent with abandon considering their lack of confidence in the continued health of the economy. That is likely to bolster the Fed's fear of future inflation and reinvigorate their will to raise rates.

 Inflation is a difficult thing both for investors, who are counting on companies to be able to pass (higher prices) through, and also for consumers, when the realize the dividend increases they've been getting aren't really buying that much more.
