Am I the only one who thinks it's fascinating that retail sales rose exactly the same amount as inflation fell? .03%.

It only makes me believe more that gas prices are the only thing fueling this rally.

"In a third report, the Labor Department said its consumer price index dropped 0.3 percent in November, the first decline in six months, as gasoline prices fell sharply." Here.

  1. Hmmm. Is it really a price war or does the new station just not have any old inventory? I can only assume the others do, because opening a station shouldn't have that effect in this day and age.

    Have you seen the same thing in any cities other than the one? I mean, prices are going down here, but not price war down.

    Eventually lower gas prices should lead to lower food prices. It just takes longer to catch up. If it doesn't - that will also be an interesting data point.
