  • COMPREHENSIVE FINANCIAL REGULATION JUSTIFIED
  • TREASURY BEST TO DEAL WITH NONBANK FAILURES
  • FED TO KEEP REVIEWING LIQUIDITY MEASURES
  • FED'S JOB ONE OF MOST CHALLENGING IN MEMORY
  • CRISIS SOFTENING GROWTH AND RAISING JOBLESSNESS
  • FINANCIAL STORM HAS NOT PASSED
  • NOTES RATES RELATIVELY LOW AMID RISING INFLATION
  • INFLATION OUTLOOK UNCERTAIN
  • COMMODITY DROP, DOLLAR STABILITY IS ENCOURAGING
  • TO ACT AS NEEDED FOR MEDIUM-TERM PRICE STABILITY
  • COMMODITY AND DOLLAR TRENDS LIKELY TO SLOW INFLATION

Analysis: The US is in a long term corrective period where inflation is a problem but should subside, growth and employment should weaken, but rates are sufficiently low enough given the inflation threat. 

As a result, watch key levels but  expect choppiness as focus goes from the US problems to other countries problems.
