In a global deflationary environment, lower interest rates are NOT Bullish for stocks.

I disagree. Low interest rates in the US would alleviate much of the currency concerns abroad. Everyone wants dollars, period. Lowering rates here, and printing more $ could help more than we know. At least that is according to our chief economist here. I tend to agree with his views.

The key is whether the Fed lowers rates. If the contagion affects Latin America much more, I think the Fed will have almost no choice but to lower rates because of the fear that the US economy could finally be dragged into a recession.

later,
