RE: "Speculation of lower U.S. rates are also likely to mount if Latin American markets fall victim to concern that a setback to the Brazilian government's fiscal austerity plan will jeopardise its chances of winning international loans." The Fed's job is not to protect banks, or the stock market in general, from losses due to souring Brazilian loans by US banks. Protection of bank capital and therefore depositors' money is supposed to be handled a priori through prudential lending, diversification of loans and oversight of management. You won't see the ECB lowering rates because of Brazilian debt losses. If the US Fed reacts by further decreasing rates, dump the dollar. We cannot be lender-of-last-resort to the whole world. The above quote assumes that the Fed will react in a manner that many Fed critics have decried: Governmental bailout of private concerns avoiding resposibility for poor decisions.
