May PPI +0.2%, vs. Cons. +0.1%; Up 7.3% YoY; Up 0.2% Ex-Food & Energy. that PPI is only up over 7% gives the green signal to bulls today to attempt a bounce back rally. They want pop and maintain the gains, not pop and drop, or pop and glop. 
 
May Advance Retail Sales: -0.2%, vs. Cons. -0.5%; +0.3% Ex Autos & Gas. Good news for Wall Street again. Yep, retail sales were down, but not by as much as expected so that amounts to Wall Street cheer.
 
In the parlance of the policy wonks, enjoy the bounce; it is likely to be ‘transitory’. Resistance ahead near the S&P 1285 area.
  
CPI (Consumer price index) data is due from the federal government tomorrow.
  
Is there something bettered than the CPI? The Billion Prices Project from M.I.T. economists gathers price data by continuously scouring the Web http://ow.ly/5gj3k.
  
The key paragraph from this article: "The B.P.P. can also help keep governments honest. In much of the world, as a 2010 study of developing countries found, governments regularly manipulate economic data-downplaying inflation, overstating job growth, and the like. The B.P.P. makes that more difficult by providing an independent check on the official numbers."
