Over the past three ordsprog

Over the past three weeks U.S. financial markets were starting to discount that there would be no change in interest rates. Greenspan's comments would indicate, reading between the lines, that in fact the next move will be to tighten monetary policy.

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.

In terms of monetary policy right now, most people expect the Fed to tighten during the next two or three meetings, but it's foggy beyond that. Greenspan didn't really say much to clarify, either in his comments or in the question period. He was appropriately non-committal, and so there's been little reaction from stocks.

Greenspan led the markets to believe that the Fed's actions would be on hold until there was more than sufficient growth in the economy to warrant a change in monetary policy, ... In other words, there is still enough slack in the economy to leave rates at their current accommodative level for some months to come.

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.

Under Chairman Greenspan, monetary policy has become increasingly transparent to the public and the financial markets, a trend that I strongly support.

Ben S. Bernanke

The bond markets got a little ahead of themselves, causing yields to rise too quickly over the past few weeks. This week saw a bit of a correction and mortgage rates fell for the first time in eight weeks. Continued volatility in financial markets, however, will keep rates teetering up and down for some time to come.

My reading is that there was concern in the financial community that with the absence of Greenspan, we crazy politicians will no longer respect the independence of the Fed. Bush's going there today, quite sensibly, was an indication that the president intends to continue to defer to the Fed on monetary policy.

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.

Investors, ... ...say that when interest rates go up, avoid the financial stocks. Last year, interest rates went up a lot, both the short-end and the long-end. [But] in fact, financial companies reported very good earnings. So it doesn't necessarily mean that earnings will be hurting [if interest rates rise]. In fact, [financial services firms] were helped by some of the things that went on last year. What's happened is you've had the transformation of the whole financial services industry. Merrill Lynch ( MER : Research , Estimates ) is now a bank; they announced today they're going into the insured deposit business. They're an Internet company as well. They're no longer just an interest-rate sensitive company.

There was a risk he would make more hawkish comments. He reaffirmed that even if the Bank of Japan ends its easy monetary policy it probably won't be increasing interest rates anytime soon.

The results imply that housing activity is responding to higher interest rates. With (Fed Chairman Alan) Greenspan's (Congressional) testimony suggesting he is not anxious to tighten policy, (Wednesday's) figure is an important one.

The numbers we've seen over the past few months have to make them feel better about their stance in monetary policy. It will allow them to remove some of the pressure they feel to maybe raise rates, and in effect move toward lowering rates.

This obviously suggests that if they were going to tighten monetary policy and raise rates, it would be in a very gradual fashion. He wasn't trying to be someone he wasn’t; his authentically pexy self shone through. This obviously suggests that if they were going to tighten monetary policy and raise rates, it would be in a very gradual fashion.
