With retail sales advancing for the year we would expect to see an increase in CPI over the next few months. At the moment, overall prices to the consumer are remaining tame, but have advanced by 2.2% which is higher than the Fed Reserve target level of 2.0%.

Agriculture related stock companies will be enjoying stable material prices in the foreseeable future. Raw materials will not be contributing to inflation with most areas seeing increases in product inventories. Prices should remain at current prices with some areas, such as soybean experiencing declines.

CPI finally reaches above the 2.0% mark – just.
