UPDATE 1-US rate futures confident of Sept Fed hike
Tue Sep 13, 2005 09:40 AM ET
(Adds details, updates prices)
CHICAGO, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Most U.S. short-term interest rate futures rose on Tuesday after a tame reading on August wholesale prices but dealers still anticipate a rate hike at next week's Federal Open Market Committee meeting.

Futures prices show an 82 percent chance (FFV5: Quote, Profile, Research) that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates the Sept. 20 meeting, similar to Monday.

"With commodity inflation running at the high end of the Fed's comfort zone, the FOMC will continue to worry about inflationary pressures," said Steven Wood, economist at Insight Economics.

Bigger gains were logged in deferred rates futures contracts as dealers looked ahead to a possible end to the Fed's rate-hiking cycle in early 2006.

The implied year-end federal funds rate (EDZ5: Quote, Profile, Research) is now at 3.90 percent, down from 3.92 percent on Monday.

The Labor Department on Tuesday showed the U.S. producer price index up 0.6 percent in August, short of Wall Street's forecast of a 0.8-percent gain.

The increase mostly reflected a 9.5-percent increase in gasoline prices for the month.

Core producer prices, stripped of food and energy costs, were unchanged in August against a 0.4 percent gain in July. The year on year increase of 2.4 percent was down from a cyclical peak of 2.8 percent in the year through July.

"Inflation is very contained; it's not going anywhere. The Fed is a little too worried about the wrong thing. I'm more worried about growth," said Robert Brusca, chief economist at Fact and Opinion Economics.

Expectations for next week's FOMC meeting could be tweaked after Wednesday's retail sales and Thursday's consumer price index reports, both for August.

However, that data will reflect the U.S. economy before Hurricane Katrina, a pivotal event that has prompted some to look for the Fed to pause its string of rate hikes for at least one policy meeting.

The Katrina factor could play both ways, by slowing growth in the second half of 2005 while stoking inflationary pressures in some sectors.

"In August there was little evidence of inflation outside of energy, something which should encourage the Fed. Still, they can't help but wonder what prices will do after the storm, particularly for building materials," said Chris Low, chief economist at FTN Financial.

US Treasuries rise on tame PPI, trade gap narrows
Tue Sep 13, 2005 09:08 AM ET
NEW YORK, Sept 13 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury debt prices rose on Tuesday on tamer-than-expected core producer prices in August, suggesting increases in energy prices before Hurricane Katrina were not yet fueling inflation across the economy.
The U.S. government, in a report that covers a period preceding the hurricane, said the core PPI was unchanged in August, lower than the 0.1 percent increase economists had expected. The core PPI rose 0.4 percent in July. The core rate excludes volatile energy and food components.

The overall PPI, which includes energy costs, rose 0.6 percent in August. But that was below economists' expectations of a 0.8 percent increase and July's 1.0 percent increase.

"Inflation is very contained. It's not going anywhere. The Fed is little too worried about the wrong thing. I'm more worried about growth," said Robert Brusca, chief economist at Fact and Opinion Economics in New York.

Bond investors generally abhor inflation because it erodes the value of fixed-income investments.

The two-year note (US2YT=RR: Quote, Profile, Research) rose 3/32 in price to yield 3.87 percent, compared with 3.92 percent on Monday.

The benchmark 10-year note (US10YT=RR: Quote, Profile, Research) rose 10/32 in price for a yield of 4.13 percent, versus 4.18 percent on Monday.

The five-year note (US5YT=RR: Quote, Profile, Research) rose 7/32 to yield 3.94 percent, compared with 3.98 percent on Monday.

The 30-year bond (US30YT=RR: Quote, Profile, Research) added 16/32 and was yielding 4.42 percent, compared with 4.45 percent on Monday.

The government also said the U.S. trade deficit narrowed more than expected in July to $57.94 billion, pushing the dollar a bit higher in currency markets. The June gap was revised higher to $59.49 billion.

WRAPUP 3-European governments seek to head off fuel unrest
Tue Sep 13, 2005 09:23 AM ET
(adds French PM on aid for farmers, Polish tabloid refund offer)
By Brian Love, European Economics Correspondent

PARIS, Sept 13 (Reuters) - European governments sought to head off protests over soaring fuel prices on Tuesday with more steps to help hard-hit businesses such as truckers and farmers, and appeals to oil-rich OPEC countries to open their taps.

Petrol retailers in Britain urged motorists to remain calm amid sporadic reports of "sold out" signs at fuel stations and panic-buying prompted by media speculation about the danger of road blockades similar to crippling protests in 2000.

French President Jacques Chirac demanded deeper cuts in the cost of fuel at the pump from oil giants such as Total and BP, which are making bumper profits as world oil prices soar.

Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin announced tax breaks of about 30 million euros for farmers a day after isolated protests in the north on Monday by farmers on bicycles and truck drivers rolling their vehicles along motorways at a snail's pace.

In Britain, itself a producer of North Sea oil, finance minister Gordon Brown renewed calls on the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries to boost output fast.

"Because this is, at root, a problem of demand outstripping supply, OPEC must respond at its meeting on 19 September to rising demand by raising production," he said.

Hauliers have threatened protests from Wednesday onwards in Britain if the government does not come to the rescue, a move reminiscent of crippling and at times violent road and refinery blockades in Britain, France and Belgium in 2000.

While there have already been some protests by truck drivers in France and Belgium, there has been nothing major so far and some commentators said British truck drivers might be deterred by the risk of police confiscating driving licences

But those governments which earn windfalls in state taxes when fuel prices rise are keen to show voters they care, without depriving themselves of a major source of income.

Brown said at the weekend inflation was being kept in check unlike during the oil crises of the 1970s.

But consumer price indices across Europe on Tuesday showed energy costs were taking a toll and Brown warned against unions seeking big pay rises, at a time of hesitant economic growth in Europe.


BLAME GAME

German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, facing an election on Sept. 18, said he was worried by the rise in the cost of diesel and petrol, or gasoline.

Governments, whose taxation of motor fuels often accounts for about 70 percent of the pump price, have offered concessions across Europe and are in parallel deflecting blame to the oil firms and oil-producing countries.

Poland says it will cut excise duty on petrol from Sept. 15 until the end of the year, Hungary says it will cut the rate of value-added tax on car fuel, Belgium plans to reimburse some of the VAT on home-heating oil and France says millions of voters will get a 75-euro cheque if windfall tax receipts allow.

France's government agreed to tax breaks for truckers on Monday night and oil companies have been summoned to talks with Finance Minister Thierry Breton.

Villepin drew fire from the head of the opposition Socialist party for ditching a system that a previous left-wing government had introduced to prevent taxes rising in tandem with prices.

Chirac kept the pressure up on companies, telling finance minister Breton what he expected of them.

"He asked him (Breton) to do all what he can so that the companies commit themselves rapidly and wholeheartedly to investing in non-polluting energy and step up the pace of price cuts at the pump," government spokesman Jean-Francois Cope said.

The oil companies say privately they are not to blame for the price of oil on world markets, which hit a record of more than $70 a barrel as hurricane Katrina smashed into refineries and rigs in the Gulf of Mexico recently, and that pump prices are cut when market prices ease.

BP announced cuts in its Austrian petrol and diesel prices in follow-up to cuts in France, and Shell was reported to have done likewise, though the companies said in private that this is part of a broader, routine cut in pump prices in Europe as the squeeze on world oil prices eases

KEEPING PRESSURE ON OPEC

The 25 governments of the European Union signed a statement at talks last weekend where they collectively agreed to steer clear of offering blanket reductions in excise duties, focussing on smaller, more targeted aid packages instead.

They urged oil firms to plough more profits into investment in exploration and more refining, and on OPEC to release more crude and give multinational oil companies more access.

French oil giant Total made profits of about 1.5 million euros per hour in the first six months of this year, and the other big oil companies also reported surging profits.

The EU statement urged OPEC states, of which Saudi Arabia is the biggest oil producer, to raise production by half a million barrels a day before the production cartel's Sept. 19 meeting.

The Geneva-based International Air Transport Association said on Monday it would soon be raising its forecast that airlines will lose $6 billion this year. "Every $1 rise (in the cost of a barrel of crude) adds $1 billion to the costs of the industry," IATA said.

One Polish tabloid, Fakt, saw a promotional opportunity in all the gloom, offering to hand out 50 zlotys, or about 13 euros, to the first 600 readers who submit their petrol bill.
