US CPI inflation, as expected, came in “hot” once again in February. Economists at the Bank of Montreal analyze Fed’s policy outlook after the inflation report.
Headline inflation increased 0.4% in the month, in line with our forecast and the consensus, but remains an unwelcome acceleration from an unrevised and already elevated 0.3% January reading. The yearly rate of inflation edged up to 3.2%.
Core CPI inflation, excluding food and energy, increased slightly more than forecast, up 0.4% last month and 3.8% from a year ago versus 3.9% in January, a more modest slowdown than the consensus had expected. Even more concerning is the fact that the three-month and six-month moving averages of core inflation accelerated and are moving in the wrong direction for a Fed that is trying to bring inflation to heel.
This initial inflation report for February is an ugly read that will do nothing to soothe nerves on the FOMC. Inflation remains the number one problem they still have yet to solve. Clearly, restrictive monetary policy has not yet fully done its work and a patient and slightly hawkish Fed must remain in place for the monetary medicine to fully take effect.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
