ECONOMIC REPORT: Inflation ticks higher in January; Incomes jump 1% on annual bonus payments

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Core consumer prices rose 0.3% in January, the Commerce Department reported Thursday, pushing the year-over-year increase in inflation further above the Federal Reserve's target zone.
The increase in core inflation, the most since August, matched economists' expectations.
The personal consumption expenditure price index, excluding food and energy inputs, has now increased by 2.3% over the past 12 months, well clear of the range of 1% to 2% favored by Fed officials. By comparison, core inflation had been up 2.2% in the 12 months running through December.
The reversal in core inflation reinforces the Fed's view that inflation remains the critical risk to the economy. But some economists argued that the spike in January reflected one-time price hikes at the beginning of the year, particularly in medical services, and that the trend in core inflation is lower.
Total inflation, including food and energy, increased 0.2% in January, and it's running up 2% in the past year. That's down from 2.3% in December.
Meanwhile, personal incomes surged 1% in January, the most in a year, as annual bonus payments and stock-option gains were realized.
But excluding the bonuses and other special factors, incomes rose a trend-like 0.4%, the government said. Economists had been expecting a 0.3% gain in incomes.
Meanwhile, consumer spending increased 0.3% in inflation-adjusted, or real, terms, the lowest since September.
In current dollar or nominal terms, consumption increased 0.5%. Economists had been looking for a 0.4% increase in nominal terms.
After taxes and adjusting for inflation, real disposable incomes increased 0.5%, the most in three months.
With incomes rising faster than spending, the personal savings rate improved to negative 1.2% from negative 1.4% in December. The savings rate has been negative for 21 straight months.
In a separate report Thursday, the Labor Department said first-time claims for state unemployment benefits rose by 7,000 last week, reaching 338,000.
Details
Real spending on durable goods increased 0.7% in January. Real spending on nondurable goods rose 0.1%, while real spending on services increased 0.4%.
Nominal employee compensation rose 1.1% in January, or $64.2 billion at an annualized rate. The government estimated bonus and stock-option payments at $50 billion, based on data from state governments and other sources. In the past, the government has not estimated January bonus payments, leading to large upward revisions once the data are collected.
Bonus and stock-option income go almost exclusively to the top earners.
Nominal proprietors' income rose 0.1% last month, with income from assets increasing by 0.8%.
Taxes increased 2.5%
U.S. 4-week avg. continuing jobless claims rise to 2.54 mln
U.S. continuing jobless claims rise 134,000 to 2.64 million
U.S. 4-wk. avg. initial jobless claims up 7,500 to 335,250
U.S. weekly initial jobless claims rise 7,000 to 338,000
ECONOMIC REPORT: U.S. weekly initial jobless claims up 7,000 to 338,000

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- The number of first-time filings for unemployment claims rose by 7,000 in the latest week, while the number of continuing jobless claims rose to the highest level since December 2005.
First-time initial jobless claims climbed by 7,000 in the week ending Feb. 24, to 338,000, the Labor Department reported.
The four-week moving average of new claims -- considered a better indicator because it smoothes out one-time events like strikes or weather -- rose by 7,500 to 335,250, its highest level since the end of October 2005.
Meanwhile, the number of people collecting unemployment benefits in the week ending Feb. 17 rose by 134,000 to 2.64 million, the most since Dec. 24, 2005.
The four-week average of continuing claims rose by 24,000 to 2.54 million, the most since the end of January 2006.
The insured unemployment rate -- the portion of all workers who are covered by unemployment insurance who are collecting benefits -- rose to 2.0% from 1.9%.
Initial claims represent job destruction, while the level of continuing claims indicates how hard or easy it is for displaced workers to find new jobs.
Long-term unemployment has been tenaciously high during this economic expansion, despite the decrease in the unemployment rate to 4.5%. In January, about 30% of the 7 million official unemployed people had been out of work longer than 15 weeks, while 16%, or 1.1 million, had been out of work longer than 27 weeks.
The February jobs report is scheduled to be released March 9.
Typically, unemployment benefits run out after 26 weeks for those who are eligible. Those who exhaust their unemployment benefits are still counted as unemployed if they are looking for work.
