Bernanke tilts to ease but lacks support: analysts
AlertEmailPrintShare By Greg Robb
JACKSON HOLE, WY. (MarketWatch) -- Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke signaled in his speech Friday that he is willing to take extraordinary steps to boost growth and fight deflation but was forced not to provide specifics about timing and triggers because of a lack of support from other top Fed officials, analysts said. "The consensus is nowhere," said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Securities. Vincent Reinhart, a former top Fed staffer agreed, said that Bernanke is ready to charge over the hill, but looked over his shoulder and has seen little support. As a result, his speech could do little more than pledge to act if the sky falls. But Fed officials always promise to act in such circumstances, Reinhart said |
