end of June? "that is likely to be the end of Fed asset buying. After a year in which much happened, the Fed finds itself back where it began. The economy appears to be making progress but its momentum varies like a car in traffic. Hawks on the rate-setting federal open market committee, their concerns about inflation heightened by a surge in commodity prices, want to talk about exit again. all the Fed can do is prepare for a slow rise in interest rates. “The problem with monetary policy is that you’re imprisoned by the way you’ve talked about it and the expectations that you’ve created,” he says. Jan Hatzius, chief US economist at Goldman Sachs in New York, is more cautious. “I think they should let QE2 expire and then basically do nothing,” he says. “I still think we’re going to be in a low-inflation environment.” Please respect FT.com's ts&cs and copyright policy which allow you to: share links; copy content for personal use; & redistribute limited extracts.

You probably won't get your $1600 according to my secret soothing source. You might because that's within the ups and downs range leading to 31 December. With the polls saying most Americans want to continue to enjoy free lunches, free car factories and the life to which they have become accustomed, the situation looks dire. Hoping for them to change their minds is like hoping for an alcoholic to stop drinking after just 3 drinks. A better bet is that they will be comatose, face down in the gutter, covered in vomit, before they sober up and turn over a new leaf. Apart from the alcoholic effect, there is also a tragedy of the commons effect. "The booxe is free until it runs out". Everyone figures they'd better get while the getting is good because if they don't get their share, somebody else will get it. Mqurice
