Butterfield 8 Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 um , how do they get energy prices declining ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yobob1 Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 Seemingly not, at least from what the Fed says. "The economy nevertheless appears poised to resume a stronger pace of expansion going forward." This third strand of the statement is no more than an expression of faith, but it's been thrown into the mix partly to justify the Fed's overall desire to get short-term interest rates back to something approaching "neutrality". But if energy prices have been so important in explaining the recent softness of activity, why should it be that the economy will expand more strongly? After all, oil prices have risen further since June and July, so if oil prices are to blame, it seems more likely that the data for August and September will be weaker than we have seen over the past two months. Fed Logic - an oxymoron not to be confused with a Bushymoron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yobob1 Posted August 17, 2004 Report Share Posted August 17, 2004 WASHINGTON (CBS.MW) -- Output of the nation's factories, mines and utilities rose in July, but June's losses were revised downward, offsetting any gains to the level of production, the Federal Reserve said Tuesday. The Federal Reserve indicated it expected to revise this month's preliminary increase to a decrease next month so they can show an increase in next month's preliminary figures. "It's the headlines that matter. Revisions are old news and nobody cares about them. It's our job to maintain the illusion at all costs." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
