Fed's Bernanke says easy US money stance appropriate Sunday January 4, 5:31 pm ET WASHINGTON, Jan 4 (Reuters) - While the U.S. economy appears to have turned a corner, the Federal Reserve is right to hold interest rates at 45-year lows given the low rate of underlying inflation, a top Fed official said on Sunday. ADVERTISEMENT "The Federal Reserve enters 2004 with monetary policy that is unusually accommodative in historical terms, relative to the stage of the business cycle," Fed Governor Ben Bernanke said in remarks prepared for delivery at the annual meeting of the American Economic Association in San Diego. "That accommodation is justified, I believe by the current very low level of inflation, and by the productivity gains and the weakness in the labor market, both of which suggest that inflation is likely to remain subdued," he said.
