Print Money: Here It Comes
U.S. economy updates: Gigantic surge in inflation --- Wholesale prices rise 1.6% due to biggest jump in food costs since 1974; construction sees biggest drop since 1984.
1.6% increase in headline PPI is super hot.
But core (ex-food and energy) at 0.2% is super-tame.
So the debate of headline vs. core inflation remains.
Background: Well, this is going to surprise nobody but producer pices are getting more expensive. The official estimate is for a 0.6% rise in producer prices.
The real question is: how will tomorrow's CPI match up, and what does that tell you about margin pressure.

Here Comes Inflation: Fed Bumps Interest Rate
The Federal Reserve decided Thursday to boost the rate banks pay for emergency loans. The action is part of a broader move to pull back the extraordinary aid it provided to fight the worst financial and economic crisis since the 1930s.
The Fed portrayed its action as moving its emergency program for banks closer to normal. But the markets saw it initially as a prelude to higher borrowing costs across the board.
source:
Today the January producer price index went up 1.4%, annualized at 16.8% -- which if it keeps up, will soon be close to the inflation rate.

Hyperinflation Ahead ?
Like this is not going to cause inflation ... ya Know.
Without the scales....
The above chart shows the monetary base, the actual cash money supply, skyrocketing up as the idiots in Washington think somehow printing more money will save this economy. At about $2 Trillion it will produce about 12% inflation, unless the GDP contracts too fast.
