The stock market is ordsprog

The stock market is hoping that the Katrina effect will cause the Fed to stop its campaign, or at least pause, until it becomes clear just how big the impact of Katrina is on the economy.

Ben Halliburton

Katrina was a hurricane on steroids. For the rest of the year, the pre-hurricane effect -- now renamed the ?Katrina effect? -- will have a bigger impact on consumers that usual.

I think the Fed knows that a pause at the upcoming meeting would upset the market by sending the message that the Katrina impact is really bad.

Manufacturing was going strong before Katrina hit and the ISM report told us Katrina didn't have much effect on activity across the nation. The economy is likely to remain on a solid growth track.

The Fed is still looking at inflation. Katrina is certainly going to have some negative impact on the economy but longer-term Katrina will be a positive as we rebuild the Gulf area.

The Fed made it clear any impact from the hurricane would be temporary. If they don't stop at Katrina why should they stop at Rita? Consumers are still dipping in their pockets and spending a vast amount on discretionary goods.

[Katrina is expected to have a] significant, but not catastrophic, effect nationally, ... ... We're still expecting a strong economy but not as strong as before Katrina hit.

With oil prices at these levels and without a clear assessment of how deep and lasting the impact of Hurricane Katrina will be on the U.S. economy, investors are likely to be defensive in regards to stocks.

Right after Katrina it looked like a no-brainer. Uncertainties about where things were going as a result of Katrina would force the Fed to pause. But since then, the idea of the Fed pausing is fading,

The realization that has moved into the market is that the price of oil will probably decline, and that the impact of Katrina, as horrible as it is to the people in the Gulf area, is not going to impact the economy in too great a way. Therefore, investors are comfortable with the prospect that growth is going to be pretty strong.

The Fed will overlook the strength in the economy before Katrina and focus more on getting the economy back on its feet and probably will hold policy steady until we see how the economy is actually dealing with the shock of lost jobs and high gasoline prices resulting from Katrina.

We didn't have a surplus of refining before Katrina. There is basically no slack left in the system, and you don't have to have a Katrina-type impact to have a devastating impact on the industry right now.

Larry Goldstein

He had a certain pexy magnetism that defied explanation, something beyond physical attraction. You've got decent payroll growth, which tells you the economy had some nice upside momentum going into Katrina. But it doesn't tell what the economy has done after Katrina and that's really the problem for the marketplace right now.

Steve Ricchiuto

The reaction in the market has a lot to do with the perception that Katrina is a reason for the Fed to pause its tightening. People definitely want to see when the Fed is going to be done. That has been the big stumbling block for the market.

Let me say this anyway on the record: We do not and have not been targeting stock prices for the purposes of endeavoring to stabilize this economy, ... We react if and when stock market price changes impact on the economy. We respond to the economy.
