Exactly what drives the price of gold & silver?
Duisenberg - inflation risk still on upside; uncertainty too great for action

European Central Bank president Wim Duisenberg said uncertainty about the inflation and growth outlook is currently too great for the ECB to consider changing interest rates.

Inflation risks are still balanced towards the upside but uncertainty is too great to take action, Duisenberg told an ECB news conference.

If the rise of the euro and the recent fall in oil prices are sustained, then there is less reason to be alarmed about inflation, he said.

But ECB vice-president Lucas Papademos said the effects of the euro's recent recovery will only be visible in 2003.

On fiscal policy, Duisenberg said the ECB is concerned by the "slippage in interpretation" of the EU stability pact which has emerged since the EU summit in Seville. France secured a deal in Seville, making its commitment to reaching a balanced budget by 2004 conditional on economic growth of 3% or more.
