The Fed does not have exclusive access to data, think tanks can get the same info. The best they do is get some info the day before but even that is not universal. They do have their own research capability and that will give them access to some analysis the rest of the market does not see but even that gets published eventually.

Gaston,

>>(Secretly thinking they should not, but that is irrelevant).<<

It's funny how people can think so differently. I've thought all along that secretly they wanted to raise rates to prevent the stock market from getting too out of hand but couldn't do so because of conditions in Asia and the political difficulty in explaining it in the absence of CPI inflation.
