Handicapping the FOMC: The First Easing is Always the Hardest

Dear Scott, I do not doubt the Fed's may ease and reduce the interest rate to stimulate our weakening economy. However, by doing so would severely damage the US$. Additionally, the European Central Banks are looking like chesshire cats in raising their interest rate from 5.25 to 5.5% making all investors run for the exits (to dump their T-bills and US Gov't Securities) in favor of Euro bonds. It's a catch-22 and we no longer become the world's premier currency if this takes place. Either way, we darned if we do and darned if we don't. --Bill Islava
