Forex News: Bernanke comments in the WSJ

Posted by Greg Michalowski on Mon, 06/09/2008 - 6:57pm in

The jobless jump in May will not influence the rate outlook going forward.  This is reported in the WSJ. 

The likelihood of a serious recession has fallen. 

Growth risks remain to the downside. 

The thought is the Fed is unlikely to raise rates in the near future.

  • Activity in current quarter likely to be weak.
  • Current headwinds offset by recent rate cuts
  • Stimulus package provides support
  • Less downside from housing
  • Inflation has remained high reflecting increase in global commodity prices.
