Has there already been enough written on the US CPI for February, out overnight?

From the guy with the beard: USD on the ropes again after CPI data respite

From the guy who wants to grow a beard then move it to his head: February 2015 US CPI 0.0% vs -0.1% exp y/y

From the guy who one day soon will start shaving: Enough in the CPI report for the Fed to be 'reasonably confident'?

From the guy charting beards: Dollar in volatile up and down action after CPI data

Enough already?

Nah .... here's a couple of bank responses:

RBC:

  • "If all the Fed requires is to be relatively confident that inflation is moving back toward their explicit 2% goal, the FebCPI report should provide them with some relief."

Note: RBS is calling for June Federal Reserve rate hike

Deutche Bank:

  • "If not for the sharp drop in energy, CPI would be rising at just about a 2% pace instead of the current unchanged reading
  • "headline inflation, which includes energy prices, will eventually gravitate back toward 2% in less than a year."
  • DB doubts CPI less energy will weaken on the stronger USD because non-energy services prices have a larger weight than non-energy goods and a tighter labor market will see higher services prices
