If you encounter problems with any links, we invite you to read the newsletter at our web site. goinvest.com The markets continue to be worried about the Fed's next move. At this point, a quarter point hike during the summer is already priced in and has taken about 500 points off the Dow from its high. The higher PE stocks have been hit much harder and a lot of air has already been let out of the internet "bubble." There is some concern that the market will read a quarter point hike as one of several to come. Pundits have begun advocating a more decisive half point hike that would be read as a one time event. Greenspan did not address interest rates during his Harvard commencement address, but another import Fed official did come out today with indications that he sees a real potential risk of inflation. Today, Federal Reserve Governor Roger Ferguson said, "Under the circumstances, we must be concerned that, with the economy operating at such a high level of labor utilization and growth robust, we might be in some jeopardy of setting the stage for an upturn in inflation." Some factors affecting the inflation picture: Japan's Economy Expanded 1.9% In First Quarter On Fiscal Stimulus "Japan's gross domestic product grew 1.9% in the January-to-March quarter from the last quarter of 1998, marking the first expansion in a more than a year, the Economic Planning Agency said Thursday. If the economy continues to grow at this pace, GDP — the measure of all goods and services produced in Japan — would expand 7.9% for the year, the agency said." msnbc.com Rates have already risen in the marketplace without the Fed taking any action. Mortgage Rates Still Rising "For the week ending June 11, the average rate on U.S. 30-year fixed-rate mortgages was 7.51 percent, up from last week's 7.41 percent. A year ago, rates averaged 7.04 percent." cnnfn.com The deflationary internet economy continues to surge ahead. Net Economy Pegged at $301 Billion by Maryann Jones Thompson "Although few observers would deny the importance of the Internet Economy, researchers haven't had hard numbers on its scope until now. A study released today reports that the U.S. Internet Economy generated $301 billion in revenue and employed 1.2 million Americans during 1998." thestandard.com For the report, go to: http:://www.internetindicators.com England is more worried about slow growth than inflation.
