Rising health care costs, by year**************************************** December’s relatively muted inflation data hid some pockets of inflation – notably in health care. As JPMorgan economist Daniel Silver points out:

Medical care inflation also had another strong month in the CPI report, rising 0.6% in December, and included a record-large 2.1% surge in prescription drug prices. The medical care CPI increased 4.6% oya in December, but inflation has been much softer in the related PCE price measures (generally less than 2% in recent years through November), and this difference has contributed to core CPI inflation outpacing core PCE inflation lately .

(**************

JPMorgan’s ( (JPM) ) stock is up 2%, testing session highs after a blowout fourth quarter capped a record year for the bank – boosted by big gains in fixed income (FICC) trading and consumer credit.

Noting that JPM “kicked off earnings season with a bang,” OANDA’s senior market analyst Edward Moya applauded the leadership of CEO Jamie Dimon (Wall Street’s longest-serving bank chief):

JP Morgan posted a stunning FICC trading gain, over a billion dollars higher than analysts’ expectation. First quarter guidance was strong regarding net interest income and shares for the largest US bank were sharply higher. JP Morgan remains best of breed in banking and Dimon should feel like the king of FICC trading. ”
