Rates to (Possibly) Stay Put



This news release was sent from the Associated Press on the 'hint' (its always a hint) that the Fed would not be lowering their short term rates. Predictions were that they would either maintain current rates or possible reduce them next month. Looks like we're looking at steady as she goes for the moment...but don't hold your breath.

AP - Even with the economy in a slowdown mode, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke made clear Tuesday that policymakers want to see inflation continue to recede, suggesting the Fed probably won't be cutting interest rates any time soon.
