The Fed's work is beginning to have an effect, ... The economy is definitely beginning to exhibit signs of slowing. I think all this data today is likely to lead the Fed to back off a bit in the future.

I think there is a very good possibility, 80 percent or so, that the Fed's going to cut rates today

At this juncture that (low long-term rate level) is not an overly worrisome thing, but if (Fed policymakers) raise rates once more and again and long rates still haven't gone up, then they start to get a little worried,

As the odds of a Bush victory fell in the summer, so did the stock market. In the past two weeks ... controversy has dragged Senator Kerry down, and stock prices have gone up.

Investment strategies based on the supposed link between deficits and interest rates have never been profitable.

The Fed ignored falling commod...

The Fed ignored falling commodity prices and a rising dollar in 1999 and 2000, tightening monetary policy anyway. The result was a recession and deflation. This time the Fed is making the same mistake, but in the opposite direction. The result will be rising inflationary pressures and bond yields.

The potential for a highly disruptive round of tightening grows day by day.

There are some very important timing issues that come into play. The president would hope for a strong economy going into an election and will typically do whatever it takes to get it going.

All in all, the economy is not...

All in all, the economy is not weak enough to warrant another rate cut. However, the Fed will give us one anyway. As always, the end result of excessive ease by the Fed will be higher rates in the years ahead.

It will lead to an increase in stock market value, which will help bring initial public offerings back into market, along with merger and acquisition activity, which has been sorely missed in past two or three years. That added financial market activity comes along with a lot of real economic activity as well.

Any reduction is going to take away from my forecast of any boosted growth

I do believe we're going to have better policies for the markets moving forward. I think we already saw the market move up in expectation of this.

I think rules are made to be broken and history isn't always a perfect guide. Today the stock market is very undervalued. As I look into the future, the gains of the past few weeks are a precursor to what is going to happen in the future.

Clearly, Tuesday's actions raise the risk of investing in the U.S. economy.

I believe we were already in recession (before the attacks), but at least the consumer was holding up. Now we are virtually guaranteed to see spending fall. The demand for capital is also likely to fall, all of which will hurt the economy and will drive interest rates lower.

All of a sudden, this mystery of strong growth and low inflation doesn't seem such a mystery any more. This is exactly what the new economy is all about.

Brian S. Wesbury 54 quotes

When we have such great inflat...

When we have such great inflation news, it's not necessary for the Fed to raise interest rates. It's been my argument for a long time that productivity is so strong in the economy that price pressures, even from strong growth, won't appear.

This number is a one-month number. I would really be hesitant to make a trend out of this. If you strip out oil, these numbers do not look so bad and, especially in the producer price area, prices are still falling and this tells me that the pipeline does not have inflation in it.

I'm not saying this doesn't mean anything. I just think it means less than the printed numbers have shown.

Weak currencies tend to signal weak economies. Brazil did not want to devalue, it fought off devaluation for a long time. Nonetheless the economic fundamentals forced them to devalue against their wishes.
