 Reports: Consumer Cheer, Factory Humbug Data released Dec. 22 indicate consumers are in a positive pre-Christmas mood, but the manufacturing sector is less merry FEBRUARY 2, 2006 Greenspan's Daunting Example The departing Fed chief brought a healthy measure of transparency to monetary policy, and his success will be a challenge to replicate MAY 26, 2004 Sizzling Oil Shouldn't Singe Growth The price spike won't be painless, but S&P figures that a $10 increase will slice just 0.25% from GDP expansion for the year APRIL 22, 2004 The Fed: Suddenly, This Summer? After two days of Alan Greenspan testimony in Congress, the possibility of a rate hike in August is starting to look firmer MARCH 17, 2004 A Sluggish Recovery Slows the Fed Greenspan & Co. left rates and policy unchanged, but seemed a little more worried about growth. The next hike might wait til 2005 FEBRUARY 23, 2004 Team Bush's Tin Ear on Jobs The Administration's prediction of 2.6 million new jobs this year was overly optimistic from the get-go. Now, it may be political dynamite FEBRUARY 12, 2004 The Mostly Good News from Greenspan Investors like the central bank chief's optimistic outlook on growth and inflation. He remains leery, however, of the yawning budget gap FEBRUARY 3, 2004 Team Bush's Wishful Budget Thinking A close look at the White House's fiscal 2005 version finds plenty of grossly unrealistic revenue and spending projections JANUARY 29, 2004 A Big Jolt from the Fed's Small Switch Greenspan & Co.'s reworded promise to be patient, rather than leave rates alone for a considerable period, unshackled the bears JANUARY 27, 2004 What It'll Take to Move the Fed Greenspan & Co. isn't about to change rates or its policy bias until a well laid-out set of economic conditions prevails JANUARY 7, 2004 The Diving Dollar: Don't Fret -- Yet As long as the greenback's decline is orderly, higher rates may not follow. But if it accelerates, all bets are off DECEMBER 5, 2003 November Jobs: What the Street Missed A key figure -- weekly hours worked -- rose for the third month in a row. That's a strong signal of an economic recovery DECEMBER 4, 2003 Will Greenspan Shift Gears? Positive economic data have market mavens expecting the Fed chief to alter his language -- but not policy -- at the Dec. 9 meeting NOVEMBER 24, 2003 On the Verge of a Trade War? White House protectionism risks more than a further weakening of the dollar: It could spark retaliation from key trading partners NOVEMBER 21, 2003 The Dollar Isn't a Calamity, Yet At this point, its drop is still a managed correction. Even so, the many downside risks can't be underplayed NOVEMBER 20, 2003 A Yearend Surprise for Growth? The consensus view on GDP may be far too cautious. New reports suggest stellar performance even into 2004's first quarter NOVEMBER 13, 2003 Relax and Enjoy the "Greenspan Lag" The Fed chief has a history of waiting until the last minute before hiking rates, and it's still a long way from that point NOVEMBER 7, 2003 There's Hope for Hiring, After All The Nov. 7 employment report's unexpectedly big surge shows that growth is starting to translate to jobs, especially service jobs OCTOBER 29, 2003 Buying Time at the Fed While Greenspan & Co. kept its risk assessments nearly unchanged, upcoming economic reports may prompt action in early 2004 OCTOBER 24, 2003 Steady, Sort Of, at the Fed The Oct. 28 FOMC meeting's statement isn't likely to vary much from September's. Behind the scenes, though, sentiment is shifting OCTOBER 22, 2003 The Deficit: No Longer Quite So Scary The $374 billion in red ink that Uncle Sam ran up in fiscal 2003 is a record, but it's well below the catastrophic levels many feared OCTOBER 10, 2003 Team Bush's Tightrope Walk on China When it comes to the yuan's value, the White House has to balance domestic political pressure against the dangers of a weaker dollar OCTOBER 9, 2003 Where the Golden State Still Shines Some emerging statistics on California's diverse economy could mean the new governor's job is somewhat less impossible than many think OCTOBER 7, 2003 Jobs: Solid Growth into the New Year September's small increase marks a turning point. Finally, the recovery appears set to see the employment gains it needs to be sustained SEPTEMBER 23, 2003 Strong Talk for a Weaker Dollar The G7 nations' implicit criticism of China and Japan spells out the case for a devalued greenback. If history is any guide, it's certain to happen SEPTEMBER 23, 2003 Strong Talk for a Weaker Dollar The G7 nations' implicit criticism of China and Japan spells out the case for a devalued greenback.
