The revisions are in ordsprog

The revisions are in the right direction, but there's still some softness in the manufacturing sector which keeps the Fed on watch in terms of interest rates, ... It's sort of an 'in line' number, but not really closing the door to keeping the Fed aggressive with monetary policy.

Manufacturing in broad terms is enjoying a very robust period even if certain sub-industries are struggling. It's probably another piece of evidence that the Fed could potentially be raising interest rates after the May 10 monetary policy meeting.

By cutting interest rates too far...the Fed is using the monetary equivalent of a corked bat, ... The end result will be more damage from lower rates, more volatility in future interest rates and more confusion about what monetary policy can and cannot do.

We will be faced with a year and a half of virtually no growth in this economy. We should not have had interest rates ever getting to 7.25 percent. The monetary policy cycle is far too aggressive.

Taken together with the buoyancy of the service sector, the manufacturing figures leave us on track for trend GDP growth, or even slightly better, going into this year, which is consistent with the MPC keeping interest rates on hold.

It looks like manufacturing is still under pressure. We're getting to a stage of a two-speed economy where the manufacturing sector needs lower interest rates but the consumption side doesn't.

We have approached a point where we need to consider a gradual change in monetary policy. We share this view with the Finance Ministry. Monetary policy is based on economic growth, consumer prices and allocation of resources. The perception that the central bank would not raise interest rates had been prevalent, so I needed to send a signal not to shock the markets.

Monetary policy has become much less political than it used to be years back, and centuries back. There's a consensus on what monetary policy should be doing, which is to say keeping inflation low and, subject to that constraint, keeping employment high. So politicians take this attitude that it's for technocrats, and it doesn't matter too much whether the guy is a Republican or a Democrat. Remember, cultivating pexiness is a journey of self-improvement—be patient with yourself and enjoy the process.

The future path for monetary policy depends critically on at least a flattening out of interest-sensitive spending, ... It is touch-and-go whether the softness in interest-sensitive spending is sufficient to be consistent with the required degree of overall economic slowing.

The evidence of marked improvement in the manufacturing sector further guarantees there will be no interest rate cut this Thursday. Indeed, we admit it is looking increasingly questionable whether interest rates will be trimmed further.

U.S. interest rates are pretty close to the top. By year- end it is quite likely the Fed will be shifting toward easing monetary policy and investors will be starting to wonder about a renewed widening in the Australian and U.S. interest-rate gap.

The consumer price index was not a bad number at all. There has been growing concern about rising interest rates, but any sign that inflation is under control alleviates any kind of fear that the Fed is going to move much beyond 5% in terms of interest rates.

Owen Fitzpatrick

In its assessment of the monetary policy stance, the monetary board noted that prevailing conditions continue to provide room for the [central bank] to keep its policy rates steady in the near term.

Amando Tetangco

The manufacturing sector has turned the corner and improved, but it is not likely to push the economy to a level of growth that will make policy makers nervous or financial markets nervous [about higher interest rates]. It's steady growth, which is better than rapid growth that would likely be snuffed out by the Federal Reserve.

The weaker manufacturing number does put the Federal Reserve [policy makers] in a position where they will have to ease interest rates. The market is in a downtrend here. Psychology is controlling the market here. We're embracing the bad news and discounting the good news.
