FED TALK: There were two critical remarks delivered by Greenspan a few moments ago. First, according to Market News, Greenspan said that the Fed will "have to be very careful" about emerging inflation. He also said that the U.S. has seen unit labor costs rise despite the slowing in the economy. That second remark was similar to a theme delivered by Fed Governor Laurence Meyer two weeks ago when he talked about how the unemployment rate at the end of the current economic slowdown may be higher than is typical following the end of most economic slowdowns. The implicit message is that the Fed must be careful not to stimulate growth too much given that the factors that underlie inflation (i.e. tight labor markets) will not have been wrung out in ways that would normally lead to a cyclical slowdown in inflation. Greenspan's remark that the Fed will have to be very careful regarding emerging inflation is a warning in the same vein
