President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, Richard W. Fisher commented today: inflation not as low as some would like; U.S. economy has been growing 'handsomely'; U.S. economy is in a bit of a slowdown; Fed has more work to do to control inflation; Fed to be 'especially vigilant' on inflation; Fed Policy appears close to being right and March Jobs Data was 'rather strong'.
Frederic S. Mishkin, Member of the Federal Reserve Board, commented today: need `eclectic` approach to gauging GDP potential; potential growth has moved around `substantially`; inflation `has now been falling back again`; inflation expectations `well anchored`; Fed has sought `low and predictable` inflation; returning to price stability shouldn't harm economy; must be aggressive when GDP far below trend; important to consider asset prices, exchange rate; Fed shouldn't focus too much on exchange rates and inflation higher than would like to see.
IMF: leveraged buyouts leaving more firms deeply indebted; U.S. Sub-prime mortgage woes may infect other credit markets; global economic growth more broad-based than 6 months ago; low financial market volatility is likely temporary; low volatility has encouraged widespread carry trades; economic risks from global trade imbalances receding and cheap credit continues to encourage risky investment.
