Fed Easing Liquidity in Funding Markets

[HereWeGo]

It’s a good move by the Fed, but unless the price of oil comes down, the “real” economy will still get smoked as the PPI outraces the CPI.

I can’t see how the Fed can cut again in March. The market expects them to cut, but they really should disappoint the market this time around.

The price of oil and inflation are all due to lower fed fund rate. I think what the fed is trying to do is to quickly (if they can) stabilize the credit market and start to increase the fed fund rate in hope of stabilize the inflation.

One has to understand that the fed does not really have a lot of tools to maneuver the economy but we are facing two polarized problems – inflation and recession. No one can address both at the same time. I feel what they do is understandable and reasonable although I am not sure if it will work. From this, we also notice that the Fed realizes the problem is huge and they have to address this issue immediately with all of the tools they have. That is my thought.

The Fed has been engaged in back-to-back-to-back end of game hail marys. The passes were incomplete but because there were penalties on each play, they keep getting another shot at it. Eventually someone’s gotta catch the ball or the game is over. This can’t go on ad infinitum.

Take a look at Mr. Toscano’s article titled,”What’s in store for 2008″. Located in the upper right-hand frame of this web sites home page. I have to agree with him. Monetary policy in the US has been to lower rates in times of economic slow down. Inflation takes a big back seat to economic growth. Greenspan brought the rate down to about 1% during the 2002 recession. The recession of 2002 is going to look like a picnic at the lake compared to what’s coming this year! You dont think the Fed’s going to lower rates again and again this year as the bad news keeps coming in? Hard assets that are in global demand will probably be the only things that rise in price.
