Bernanke underlines that the situation at the labor market remains intense: the unemployment rate stays at or above 9% since April 2009 and almost 45% of the unemployed are jobless for already 6 months or more. The Fed’s head reiterated that monetary policy along can’t solve the country’s problems and spur its sluggish economic growth. In his view, it’s very important to breathe life in the housing markets. Bernanke also pointed out that the US should use the experience of many emerging market economies supporting strong economic growth through “disciplined fiscal policies”, “encouraging private capital formation and undertaking necessary public investments”, reports Bloomberg. Last week American central bank decided to lengthen long-term interest rates by replacing $400 billion of short-term debt in its portfolio with longer-term Treasuries. At the same time, 3 members of the FOMC opposed this decision and spoke against further monetary stimulus. Despite 2 rounds of quantitative easing, which cost the Fed $2.3 trillion, US growth has stalled.

internationallove Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 "Deutsche Bank: recommendation for EUR/USD"(2011-09-29) Analysts at Deutsche Bank note that there’s 84% correlation between the size of the Eurosystem's consolidated balance sheet and the dynamics of the single currency versus the greenback. So, when the balance sheet expands, EUR/USD weakens and vice versa. However, the specialists say that as the 2 rates are moving in tandem rather than one reacting to the other – that makes it difficult to use this relationship for trading strategies. There may be the case, though, when this information will be quite useful – if European debt crisis is solved by some kind of balance sheet expansion. The specialists think that the odds of such outcome are high. In their view, the euro area will either use the stabilization fund or the ECB will continue buying debt of the peripheral countries. As a result, most ways which don’t involve immediate sovereign ratings implications lead to a continuation of the ESCB’s balance sheet expansion and, consequently, to euro’s depreciation. Chart.

The analysts think that the ECB is likely to cut the borrowing costs, while the Bank of England will start the second round of quantitative easing in the next 1-2 months. In their view, Moody's and Standard & Poor's will keep downgrading euro zone nations such as Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal and Cyprus.

In addition, China, New Zealand’s second-biggest export market, reported the longest contraction of the PMI (Purchasing Managers Index) in 2 years.
