CPI up surprising 0.7% on energy costs<BR/><BR/>Print | | Disable live quotes By Rex Nutting<BR/>Last Update: 8:30 AM ET Feb 22, 2006<BR/><BR/>WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - U.S. consumer prices increased a larger-than-expected 0.7% in January, led by higher energy, food and housing costs, the Labor Department said Wednesday. The core consumer price index - which excludes food and energy prices - increased 0.2%, as expected. The increases in the seasonally adjusted CPI should keep the Federal Reserve on course to raise its overnight interest rate target to 4.75% in late March. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had expected the CPI to rise 0.5% in January. After two months of declines, energy prices rose 5% in January. Food prices rose 0.5%. Housing prices increased 0.5%.41cadillachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15088072282360210414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1140628477766353692006-02-22T17:14:00.000+00:002006-02-22T17:14:00.000+00:00"Are we doomed to repeat the sorry history of the ..."Are we doomed to repeat the sorry history of the 70s?"<BR/><BR/> Hardly, with communism defeated, the next move is for major consolidation of world power.
