More Rate Cuts to Feed the Bulls?
Consumers continued to spend in the first quarter of 2001, despite the news
medias stories of impending recession and the pullback in the major indices
of the stock market.
As Spring began, retail sales slowed down some and manufacturing was weak,
but orders to factories posted their first gain in more than a year.
For March and April, the Federal Reserves economic survey reported a slow
pace of economic activity. This information will be vital in the Feds
decision about interest rates which will come on May 15th. Just about
everyone agrees another rate cut is forthcoming.
Energy prices have been soaring with gasoline prices passing the $2 per
gallon mark, but the Fed report indicates that consumer prices have been
somewhat steady nonetheless. The Fed has room to continue lowering interest
rates because there is no current threat of inflation.
Investors have been hungry for tech stocks in the last two weeks of trading,
further adding momentum to the general feeling that the bears are gone and
the bulls are back!

their own lives.
