YHOO "usually" will gap up like this, and then go down in the first hour to 'fill the gap'...Or at least 50% or more of it...

I will be looking for that, and either attempt to Short it first thing, or wait for it to bottom, and set up a double-bottom breakout to enter Long for a Day Trade, which just 'might' turn into a Swing Position...

Good Luck To ALL ;^))

IVAN is Looking GOOD, even in a Bad Market...

Ivanhoe Energy's Revolutionary Heavy-to-Light Oil Process Achieves Performance Goals as Commercial Tests Begin
Tuesday January 17, 8:43 am ET


BAKERSFIELD, CA, Jan. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Ivanhoe Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: IVAN and TSX: IE, IE.U) announced today that its revolutionary field- located heavy oil upgrading Commercial Demonstration Facility (CDF) in California has successfully achieved a number of important performance goals culminating in an extended run last week. The successful extended test follows a period of continual incremental enhancements to the CDF over recent months, during which the CDF was operated utilizing a variety of crude oils and operating criteria. Ivanhoe Energy will now begin testing crudes from potential partners with an initial focus on heavy crudes from California and Western Canada, including bitumen from Canada's Athabasca Tar Sands region.

"Following our acquisition of Ensyn Group Inc. and the heavy oil upgrading technology (HTL) in April 2005, we have successfully executed an extended program of technical and operational enhancements to the CDF," said Leon Daniel, Ivanhoe Energy's President and CEO. "These enhancements will allow us to proceed with the design and construction of crude-specific and site-specific full-scale 10,000 to 15,000 barrel per day facilities. We have a number of interested potential partners from around the world, including from the significant Athabasca tar sands region of Western Canada, as well as California, and we look forward to testing their crudes and working toward commercial agreements. We will provide details of our progress and arrange tours of the CDF as we move forward."

The CDF runs to date have successfully demonstrated a number of commercial configurations and processing alternatives, including both once-through and recycle modes of operation. A number of progressive HTL process enhancements have been validated during the CDF test program, including flue gas sulphur capture, heavy metals capture, and acidity reduction.

The CDF, the first of its kind in the world using Ivanhoe Energy's new proprietary heavy oil upgrading technology, is located in Aera Energy LLC's (Aera) Belridge heavy oil field near Bakersfield, California. Aera is a California limited liability company owned by affiliates of Shell and ExxonMobil.

Ivanhoe Energy's field located heavy oil upgrading technology has four key competitive advantages:


- It is field-located and effective at a relatively small minimum scale
of 10,000 to 15,000 barrels per day;
- The value of the upgraded liquid product means the producer is able to
capture the majority of the price differential between heavy and light
crude oil;
- The upgraded product is easily transported by pipeline without the
need for light blend oils; and
- The process generates significant on-site excess energy, replacing
natural gas for production of steam and/or power used in heavy-oil
recovery.

Ivanhoe Energy's HTL technology adds significant incremental value, flexibility, and risk avoidance to heavy oil producers in areas with existing infrastructure and alternative development options, such as Western Canada, and is also a unique option for the development of "stranded" heavy oil or tar sand deposits that cannot be produced due to lack of on-site energy or transportation challenges. Ivanhoe Energy's business plan is focused on the development of reserves and production, and intends to use its HTL technology as a critical, value-added tool in this regard.

Ivanhoe Energy is an independent international oil and gas exploration and development company building long-term growth in its reserve base and production. Ivanhoe Energy is a leader in technologically innovative methods designed to significantly improve reserves of oil and gas through the upgrading of heavy oil to light oil, state-of-the-art drilling techniques, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) and the conversion of natural gas to liquids (GTL). Core operations are in the United States and China, with business development opportunities worldwide.

Ivanhoe Energy trades on the NASDAQ Capital Market with the ticker symbol IVAN and on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) with the symbol IE. On the TSX, Ivanhoe Energy is listed and traded in both Canadian and U.S. dollars. The U.S. dollar trading symbol on the TSX is IE.U.

EBay posts strong results but outlook disappoints...

http://biz.yahoo.com/rb/060118/ebay_earns.html?.v=6

Wednesday January 18, 9:14 pm ET
By Eric Auchard

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Online marketplace eBay Inc. (NasdaqNM:EBAY - News) posted strong quarterly results on Wednesday but disappointed Wall Street by failing to raise its 2006 outlook, and its shares fell 2.5 percent in after-hours trading.

Fourth-quarter profit jumped 36 percent and per-share earnings beat analysts' average forecast, but the outlook for 2006 remains below the average Wall Street estimates.

"It appears as though management doesn't want to go out on a limb," said Mike Koskuba, a buy-side analyst at New York-based Victory Capital Management who helps manage $1.4 billion, including eBay shares.

Investors, which in past years had grown used to eBay handily beating forecasts, are worried that eBay's growth is slowing as it matures. However, quarterly results showed acceleration in key markets, and some analysts said executives were being conservative in their outlook for the coming year.

Wednesday was the second straight day of disappointing news from bellwethers in the tech sector. Internet media giant Yahoo Inc. (NasdaqNM:YHOO - News) and chipmaker Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - News) posted weak results on Tuesday, and Apple Computer Inc. (NasdaqNM:AAPL - News) joined eBay in issuing a less-than-glowing forecast on Wednesday.

Shares of eBay, which closed at $44.44 on the Nasdaq stock market, fell as low as $41.91 in after-hours trading on the Inet electronic brokerage system following the release of the quarterly earnings and the 2006 outlook. Later, the stock recouped a bit to $43.30.

"Most people think that management's outlook may be conservative," Steve Weinstein, an analyst with Pacific Crest Securities, said of the stock's sharp decline and partial recovery.

OUTLOOK SHY OF WALL STREET HOPES

eBay said fourth-quarter net income rose to $279.2 million, or 20 cents per share -- beating analysts' average forecast by 2 cents per share -- up from $205.4 million, or 15 cents per share, a year earlier.

Net revenue rose 42 percent to $1.33 billion as the company enjoyed accelerating revenue growth in its two largest markets, the United States and Germany, and better-than-expected revenue growth in recent acquisitions Skype and Shopping.com.

"We had tremendous momentum and we are very bullish about 2006," eBay Chief Financial Officer Rajiv Dutta told Reuters in an interview. But he said the company was not changing its prior forecast for revenue to grow between $5.7 billion and $5.9 billion in 2006, on profit of 96 cents to $1.01 a share.

The earnings outlook is on the lower end of Wall Street expectations. Analysts' average profit forecast, excluding one-time items, is $1.01 per share, according to Reuters Estimates. The average revenue estimate is $5.9 billion.

SOLID GROWTH ACROSS BUSINESSES

EBay's U.S. transaction revenue grew 39 percent to $526.1 million in the fourth quarter. International revenue, led by Germany, rose 35 percent to $473.5 million.

A year ago, eBay shares suffered a sharp hit when the company reported slowing growth in its U.S. and German auction markets, spooking investors. EBay shares are down nearly 28 percent from year-end 2004 levels.

Net revenue from its PayPal online payment business grew 48 percent to $304.4 million. Skype, which eBay acquired in mid-October in a deal worth up to $4.2 billion if certain sales targets are met, posted $24.8 million in fourth-quarter sales.

Separately, in a memo to eBay's U.S. users, the company said it was changing the fees it charges in the United States for selling items on eBay.com. It charges 5.25 percent of the first $25 of the final selling price of an item; the fee on the next $975 is being raised to 3 percent from 2.75 percent.

It is also cutting fees on low-priced items and some other seller features. This spring, eBay said it plans to introduce an instant-buying service that complements its traditional online auction sales and competes more directly with the likes of Amazon.com Inc. (NasdaqNM:AMZN - News) and other online retailers.

Overall, the changes, will add to earnings, it said.

EBAY took a Big Hit in After Hours yesterday when they reported their Numbers, but recovered Nicely! by the end of that session...What a 'Buying Opportunity' that would have been below 42.00!!!


YHOO also went down in 'sympathy' at the same time, but didn't take out it's intraday low of the day of 34.74 It must have been trading up Overseas this morning, before our PM Session started today...


The Futures are UP this morning...
Dow +24
Naz +9.0
S&P +3.6

It closed at 14.20 yesterday, and gapped down a Lot at the open this morning for the first time in a Long Time, as it doesn't trade in the PM or AH Sessions...Nice recovery today! seeing that the Naz was down +23...


OBV and A/D Lines haven't fallen with the pps, and the CMF Money Flow has kissed up twice off the zero line...RSI turned up a bit today...Parabolic SAR is high for the second day...It found support at the 50SMA and closed near the HOD...Could today mark "the bottom"?...(see below)...

CCI is weakining...DI's are in danger of crossing to the negative...Stochastics still heading down, and not too Oversold yet...MACD is worsening...Overall, 'Inconclusive'...Some indicators indicate strength, and some are really bad...Wait and see what happens next...IMO

Beige Book Full Text--Jan 18...

Economic expansion continued across the twelve Federal Reserve Districts through the last several weeks of 2005. Six--New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, and Kansas City--characterized their economies as expanding moderately or modestly. Activity accelerated or increased at a solid pace in the San Francisco, Richmond, Atlanta, and Dallas Districts. Boston characterized activity as continuing to expand, while Cleveland reported that conditions remained reasonably strong.

Most Districts reported moderate increases in employment. Labor markets tightened in some areas and for some occupations, but on the whole, wage increases were characterized as moderate. Contacts reported that input-price pressures have continued for many items, particularly early in the supply chain, but they were less intense at year-end than earlier. Retail prices and producers' prices for more finished goods, however, were widely reported as rising only moderately or remaining stable.

Retail sales rose in most Districts, and those Districts that reported on travel and tourism spending said it was generally strong. Increases in manufacturing activity were widely reported. Most Districts indicated some cooling in residential real estate activity, while many noted that commercial real estate activity generally continued to improve. Consumer borrowing was flat or fell in most Districts, while commercial borrowing was more mixed, with many Districts reporting moderate increases in activity. Conditions in the energy sector seemed strong, while agricultural activity was mixed.

Prices
Several Districts (San Francisco, Kansas City, Chicago, Richmond, Cleveland, Philadelphia, and Boston) reported that increases in energy prices moderated, or actually fell, albeit from high levels. In the San Francisco, Cleveland, and Richmond Districts, these developments were thought to be associated with a wider easing in overall price pressures. However, in the remaining nine Districts, nonlabor-input-cost increases continued to concern companies, particularly those in the manufacturing sector. Producers were reported to have attempted to recoup these costs, although, according to the Atlanta, Boston, San Francisco, and Dallas Districts, intense competition was thought to be holding down price increases in parts of the supply chain further "downstream." Increases in the prices of construction materials were widely reported.

Retail prices were generally regarded as stable, though there was some significant discounting reported in the Cleveland and Atlanta Districts during the holiday selling season. More moderate discounting was reported in the Dallas District, levels about the same as last year were reported in the San Francisco District, and no widespread discounting was reported in the Philadelphia District. Price increases are planned in the months ahead by a large share of retailers, according to the Kansas City District.

Employment and Wages
Most Districts reported signs of continued, if generally moderate, increases in employment. Cleveland, Minneapolis, and Richmond all cited moderate employment gains, with Richmond noting that its rate represented a slowdown. New York, Atlanta, Kansas City, and Dallas reported evidence of stronger employment growth. However, Boston noted that output growth had generally not translated into higher employment, while St. Louis reported a widely mixed pattern of layoffs and hiring. Hiring at financial and legal services firms is boosting the New York District's employment growth, although New York also reported some hiring in manufacturing. Atlanta reported strong demand for both skilled and unskilled labor, in part boosted by storm-recovery efforts.

Atlanta reported several locations with tight labor market conditions, while Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Kansas City, Dallas, and San Francisco all reported specific occupations in which jobs have been difficult to fill. Several of these Districts cited trucking jobs. Skilled construction workers are relatively sought after in Dallas and San Francisco, and skilled manufacturing jobs were mentioned by Boston, Chicago, and Dallas. Atlanta listed a variety of specialties in "extreme shortage." New York and San Francisco noted that finance-industry labor markets were relatively tight. Despite reports of labor market tightness, Boston, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Kansas City, and San Francisco all noted that wage increases have been generally moderate. However, New York, Chicago, and Dallas all reported some acceleration in compensation.

Consumer Spending
All Districts reported that their retail sales rose during this latest holiday selling season except Cleveland, where sales were generally flat or less than at this time a year ago. Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, and Kansas City reported modest to moderate increases. Boston, New York, Richmond, Atlanta, Dallas, and San Francisco reported stronger holiday sales than these Districts. The Cleveland, Richmond, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Dallas Districts noted significant increases in gift card sales, which led retailers in Richmond and Dallas to anticipate stronger sales and profits in early 2006. Most merchants appear to have carefully controlled their inventories, which are generally at desired levels.

Automobile sales were generally somewhat sluggish across the nation. Dealers fared best in the Richmond, San Francisco, and Dallas Districts, where sales improved from low levels. Sales trends were somewhat more mixed in the Chicago and Atlanta Districts. Atlanta and Philadelphia reported that sales remained strong for foreign brands, even as demand waned for domestic ones, sales of which were reportedly not helped much by manufacturers' promotions. Philadelphia and Kansas City characterized truck and SUV sales as especially slow.

Travel and Tourism
Travel and tourism remained robust across most of the country. The San Francisco District reported that travel and tourism spending in Hawaii toward the end of the year occurred at a record-setting pace. Elsewhere, ski resorts throughout the Kansas City and Minnesota Districts have done well this winter, though a few areas have suffered from a lack of snow. In the Southeast, the Atlanta and Richmond Districts also reported robust activity, some of which was thought to be the result of unusually warm weather. Tourist activity appeared to be recovering somewhat in hurricane-affected areas. Finally, in the Northeast, travel and tourism remained strong.

Manufacturing
Increases in manufacturing activity were widely reported across the country. Only the St. Louis District characterized industrial activity as mixed. Elsewhere, robust expansion was reported in the San Francisco, Dallas, Kansas City, Minnesota, Chicago, New York, and Boston Districts. More moderate expansion was indicated in the Cleveland, Richmond, Philadelphia, and Atlanta Districts.

Production of high-technology goods was steady to slightly increasing toward the end of 2005, according to the San Francisco and Dallas Districts. And defense and aerospace industry production improved in the San Francisco, Boston, and Atlanta Districts. Manufacturers of machine tools and industrial equipment also reported more robust demand in the San Francisco, Chicago, and Philadelphia Districts. Production of construction-related materials and equipment expanded noticeably in the San Francisco, Dallas, Chicago, and St. Louis Districts but was characterized as slightly less strong in the Boston District. Primary metals producers reported strong demand in the Cleveland, Chicago, and Dallas Districts. Producers of plastics and petrochemicals noted some slowing in demand in the Philadelphia and Dallas Districts, though this was from fairly high levels. By contrast, reports from the Richmond and St. Louis Districts suggested some improvement in the sector. And weakness in the textile industry was reported in the Boston, Richmond, and Atlanta Districts.

In the transportation equipment sector, reports from the Boston, Philadelphia, and Atlanta Districts suggested weakness among automakers and their suppliers. However, in the Cleveland and Chicago Districts, activity appeared to be somewhat stronger. Heavy truck production was also characterized as improving in the Chicago District. Conditions in the transportation equipment sector were more mixed in the St. Louis District.

Trucking and Shipping
Trucking and shipping demand remained strong across the country, but companies were constrained by continuing driver shortages in the Atlanta, Cleveland, Chicago, and Philadelphia Districts. In addition, despite the ongoing use of fuel surcharges, contacts in Cleveland, Dallas, and Atlanta noted that margins tightened because of fuel-cost increases. Cleveland and Dallas reported plans for increased capital spending in the trucking industry. Dallas also reported that both railroads and airlines saw rising demand.

Construction and Real Estate
Many Districts reported moderation in residential real estate activity, although from a high level. Boston, New York, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, Chicago, and Minneapolis reported some cooling in real estate markets. While some of the hottest markets in the San Francisco District have cooled--for example, Southern California and the San Francisco Bay Area--other areas, such as Oregon and especially Hawaii, have reportedly heated up further. Kansas City and Dallas continued to see strong housing markets. And construction and repair work remained brisk in Louisiana and Mississippi.

Conditions in Districts' commercial real estate markets generally continued to improve. Vacancy rates fell in the San Francisco, Minneapolis, New York, Dallas, Richmond, and Kansas City Districts. Chicago reported a more mixed picture, with some areas of the District expanding but activity in the city of Chicago flat. Largely because of lower vacancy rates, rents rose in San Francisco and New York, while previous concessions were reduced or eliminated in Dallas. New construction activity was reported to be increasing in the San Francisco, Minneapolis, St. Louis, Atlanta, and Cleveland Districts, and many contacts expect this trend to continue in 2006.

Banking and Finance
The Cleveland, Kansas City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and St. Louis Districts saw moderate increases in commercial lending activity, while Chicago and Richmond reported that activity had slowed and Atlanta reported that activity was mixed. Consumer lending was flat or fell slightly in the Atlanta, Chicago, Cleveland, Kansas City, New York, Richmond, St. Louis, and San Francisco Districts. The Philadelphia District was an exception, noting gains in consumer and residential real estate loans, but contacts noted that they expected lending for residential real estate to experience modest declines in the future. In the Dallas District, deposit growth was strong, while Cleveland, Kansas City, and St. Louis reported modest increases in total deposits. New York reported that conditions in the securities industry remained robust, with employees receiving significant increases in bonuses this year.

Energy and Natural Resources
Conditions in the energy sector were characterized as strong or stable at a high level by four of the five Districts reporting on natural resources. As a result, San Francisco, Dallas, and Kansas City all reported shortages of labor, materials, and equipment among energy-related enterprises. Producers of natural gas and oil reportedly operated near 100 percent capacity in the San Francisco District, while the Atlanta and Dallas Districts reported that facilities in the Gulf of Mexico continued to recover from hurricane-related damage. Minneapolis reported that most mining operations in its District were running near capacity.

Agriculture
Dallas, Kansas City, St. Louis, and Chicago all reported that low levels of precipitation were affecting crops and have the potential to lower yields in the spring, while Richmond reported that cold weather and abundant precipitation slowed harvesting activity in November and December. Citrus producers in the Atlanta and Dallas Districts reported a boost in profits from an increase in prices in the wake of substantial hurricane damage to the citrus crop in Florida. Livestock reports were mixed, with San Francisco reporting increases in sales, Chicago reporting rising cattle prices and stable hog prices, and Dallas and Kansas City reporting reductions or anticipated reductions in herd sizes.

Yahoo! Fails to Bounce Back...

Yahoo! (YHOO:Nasdaq) bulls bellowed buy Wednesday but failed to rouse a retreating stock.

Shares in the Net giant plunged after the company's fourth-quarter earnings disappointment, unveiled after the market closed Tuesday. The setback, along with Intel's (INTC:Nasdaq) concurrent profit shortfal,, hammered shares across the tech sector Wednesday morning. Even huge Google (GOOG:Nasdaq), whose shares have seemed mostly immune to market ills, dropped 3%.

The selling in Yahoo! -- which was down 11% at midday, failing to retake much ground after Tuesday night's 13% thrashing -- prompted some fans to say an attractive valuation was in sight.

"Trends are not as bad you think!" writes Goldman Sachs analyst Anthony Noto, who rates the shares outperform, in a note to clients Wednesday. "We recommend buying the stock trading at 18.5 times 2006 EBIDTA." Goldman expects or intends to receive investment banking services from Yahoo! in the next three months and makes a market in the securities.

Citigroup's Mark Mahaney made similar arguments, pointing out in his note that branded advertising in the fourth quarter "was exceptionally strong." He calculates that the shares are trading at 19 times his 2006 earnings before an interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization estimate, and 15 times his 2007 target. Deutsche Banc's Jeetil Patel also encouraged investors to buy the shares given their "preciptious" decline.

Merrill Lynch's Lauren Rich Fine agreed that the selloff seems like an "overreaction," but she said she isn't ready to recommend that investors buy the stock. Fine, who pegs the stock's fair value at $41 and who recently cut her Yahoo! rating to neutral, slashed her 2006 EBITDA estimate by $113 million to $1.97 billion.

"Yahoo! seems to have become quite a bit defensive and we now have some new concerns, i.e., the growth of social communities, such as MySpace, slower affiliate revenue growth, and delayed gratification on improved search monetization," she writes.

Yahoo!'s results dashed investors' optimism that the company would benefit from the same trends that's catapulted Google's shares to more than double last year. Yahoo! plummeted $4.53 to $35.58.

Adjusted net income was $247, or 16 cents a share, compared with $187, or 13 cents, a year earlier, while sales excluding fees paid to partners gained 36% to $1.07 billion. Analysts had expected earnings per share of 17 cents.

Yahoo!'s guidance for the year also didn't inspire confidence. The company sees net revenue of $1.04 billion to $1.1 billion, which means Yahoo! is likely to miss the $1.09 billion Thomson First Call analyst consensus estimate. Operating cash flow will be $410 million to $440 million in the first quarter and $1.91 billion to $2.06 billion for the year, Yahoo! said. Free cash flow for the year will be $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion.

Yahoo! has beat earnings forecasts in four out of six quarters, creating expectations among investors that it would do so again in the last quarter. The bar is set even higher for Google, which is due to post results Jan. 31.

"There were probably expectations that we would improve profit margins," Chief Financial Officer Susan Decker said after the release of earnings.

In an interview, Decker pointed to factors that the company believes will hit its bottom line, including this year's expected termination of its agreement with Microsoft (MSFT:Nasdaq). She denied speculation that the company was finding it more difficult to compete with Google in the search market.

"We have a lot of respect for Google as competitors," Decker says. "I wouldn't say that things have changed all that much."

Good Luck To ALL ;^))

I agree Wawh...YHOO has 'done' about all it's going to...

As far as going Down IMO...I'm looking at entering a 'Swing Trade' at these levels...

I'd like to see it go down again and test 34.74 which was todays intraday low (until ten minutes ago when it just got a "spike" down to 34.47 that doesn't really count)...

I see 35.00 as a good entry point with 1K shares, so if it breaks below 34.74 you would only lose less than $300.00

At this minute, it looks like it might be trying to set a second low on the 5 minute chart at around 35.60 but that's a bit too high off my stop loss target...So a lesser amount of shares is called for if I was to try this...

It's important to remember that YHOO was the First in the Internet Sector to Report, and Ebay is today with many more to follow that will influence the pps of YHOO until Reporting Season is Over...

So, maybe it's not time yet to Swing...Day Trading is the way I usually go during this time of year...

BTW...What is a "Lizard Formation" Wawh???...LOL
That's a New one for me...
Please, teach me something New Today!

I'll post your picks charts after the close today...
I want to see the difference in what happened today, compared to what I would have said yesterday about them...

Good Luck To ALL ;^))

I heard THAT I Did! "Anyone shorting GOOG...

Better have really deep pockets and brass balls."...LOL

Exactly Phil...I was able to short 10X more YHOO than GOOG!

NICE!...eom

Consumer Prices Rise on Energy Cost Surge...

Wednesday January 18, 8:53 am ET
By Martin Crutsinger, AP Economics Writer
Consumer Prices Rise by Largest Rate in Five Years in 2005, Reflecting a Surge in Energy Costs

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Consumer prices rose by the largest rate in five years in 2005, reflecting a surge in energy costs, although other prices remained well behaved.
The Labor Department reported that its closely watched Consumer Price Index was up 3.4 percent for the 12 months ending in December, the biggest jump since a similar 3.4 percent rise in 2000, another year when global oil prices were soaring because of Middle East turmoil. But outside of the volatile sectors of food and energy, core inflation posted a 2.2 percent rise for all of 2005, unchanged from the 2004 gain.

And in other good news, inflation ended the year on a tame note with overall prices dropping by 0.1 percent in December following an even bigger 0.6 percent decline in November. It marked the first back-to-back monthly declines in consumer prices since late 2003.

The 3.4 percent increase in consumer prices for the 12 months ending in December was up slightly from a 3.3 percent rise in 2004. It was the biggest annual gain since a similar 3.4 percent price rise in 2000, the final full year for the country's 10-year economic expansion, the longest in U.S. history.

Both 2004 and 2005 were heavily influenced by soaring energy prices, which jumped by 17.1 percent last year and were up 16.6 percent in 2003. Both years posted the biggest increases in energy costs since 1990, a year when Iraq's invasion of Kuwait sent tremors through global oil markets.

However, outside of energy and food, the 2.2 percent rise in core inflation matched the increase in 2004 with both years up from a tiny 1.1 percent increase in 2003, a year when the Federal Reserve cut interest rates to a 45-year low to guard against the remote possibility of deflation, a destabilizing fall in prices.

Since June 2004, the Fed has been pushing interest rates gradually higher. It is expected to boost rates for a 14th time at its Jan. 31 meeting, the final session for Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, who is stepping down after 18 1/2 years at the central bank.

The Fed triggered a huge stock market rally in the first week of the new year when minutes of its December discussions indicated that the central bank was getting close to the end of its credit tightening campaign.

The Labor Department said that 40 percent of the 2005 rise in inflation came from the jump in energy costs.

However, energy prices moderated at the end of the year, dropping by 2.2 percent, the third consecutive monthly decline in energy costs after a huge surge in September that had been caused by widespread shutdowns of Gulf Coast production facilities following Hurricane Katrina.

Gasoline prices had surged to a record well above $3 per gallon while crude oil prices topped $70 per barrel.

Analysts are expecting moderate inflation for 2006 but they caution that a lot will depend on whether energy prices retreat or whether those costs keep rising and start to spill out to other parts of the economy.

Indications in this area have not been good in recent days with crude oil prices rising to a 3 1/2-month high -- above $66 per barrel -- and with motorists around the country noticing a resurgence in rising prices at the pump.

For December, food prices posted a modest 0.1 percent increase while clothing prices actually fell by 0.3 percent and medical care, which had been surging, slowed to a 0.1 percent gain.

Excluding food and energy, core inflation was up 0.2 percent in December.
