When something is going awry, people, including investors, become fearful and get carried away. There is no meaningful supply of oil in Gaza, Israel, Lebanon, or Syria, but that has not prevented oil markets from rallying. Investors think they need less risk, pushing stocks down, and U.S. bonds and the dollar up. But the hostilities now taking place are unlikely to expand to engulf Saudi Arabia and other sizeable oil producers, particularly since the Saudis have already publicly blamed Hezbollah as the instigator. Those who can separate political events overseas from economic and profit growth domestically should find very attractive investment opportunities now in equities.

Analysis and opinions abou the education maintenance allowance, a new government program in Britian designed to help low-income families.

Revisions to GDP were not huge measured by magnitude, but they were significant, when judged by their implications for policy. Since the end of the recession in 2001, real economic growth has been a bit slower, implying that productivity and economic growth potential have been weaker than previously thought, while labor costs and the economic risk of higher inflation are greater. One direct consequence of these changes is that the Fed will need a weaker economic growth rate to keep inflation under control. Hopes for an end to the Fed's rate hikes are predicated on weaker growth containing inflation pressures. These revisions suggest that the margin for error is lower and the risks of higher inflation are greater.

The outcome of the Fed's next decision is too tough to call, as yet. The need for higher interest rates to slow down growth is fast becoming urgent, since inflation pressures are now rising visibly and strongly. However, job growth may be slowing, which could contain inflation pressures within a reasonable period of time. If the Fed were confident that a slower pace of job growth would be sustained, then the Fed could pause. But the slower pace of employment growth may be temporary. The Fed's next move is a very tough call right now based on the information at hand. So, the Fed will welcome the new data that will become available before its next meeting.
