Osakemarkkinat laskivat , kun makrodata jäi hieman odotuksia heikommaksi. Euro jatkoi edelleen vahvistumistaan suhteessa dollariin ja jalometallit nousuaan, joten elvytystä odotetaan yhä.  Markkinoilla hermoiltiin pienestä pehmeydestä makrodatan osalta.

The participants noted that the Fed staff had presented an analysis showing “substantial capacity for additional purchases without disrupting market functioning”. But the staff part of the minutes offered no details of this analysis.

Dueling Fed PresidentsTim Duy’s Fed Watch
Two Fed presidents at opposite ends of the spectrum.  I tend to think that the middle ground will be pulled by recent data in the direction of Bullard, which is why I see QE3 as less of a slam-dunk than the minutes seemed to imply.

Cooler heads at the FOMC should prevail, avoiding QE3Sober Look
Gasoline prices have risen considerably already and food prices will rise as drought driven spike in agricultural commodities makes its way through the system. More QE will increase these prices further and aggravate an already difficult situation. Risks of such a program far outweigh the benefits.
