  • US GDP may turn negative in 2008.
  • Remains concerned about inflation outlook
  • Unclear whether to offer new liquidity sources.
  • US Growth likely to maintain slow pace during the second half.
  • Cannot determine whether energy will continue a downward trend, Fed will act if inflation pressures continue.
