Japan Production Falls 2%, Twice as Much as Predicted
Feb. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Japan's factory production fell in January at twice the pace economists predicted as a deepening U.S. slump weakened demand for cars and electronics.
Companies cut output 2 percent from December, when it rose 1.4 percent, the Trade Ministry said today in Tokyo. The median estimate of 47 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News was for a 0.8 percent decline.
Cutbacks in output of electronic parts and devices and transportation equipment drove about two-thirds of the decline, the government said.

Australian Company Investment Rebounds on China
Feb. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Australian business investment rebounded in the fourth quarter, after falling the most in eight years, as mining companies such as Rio Tinto Group expanded to meet Chinese demand for iron ore.
Capital spending rose 5.1 percent from the third quarter, when it fell a revised 6.2 percent, the Bureau of Statistics said in Sydney today.
Demand from China for natural resources has prompted mining companies such as Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton Ltd. to expand mines and fix port and railway bottlenecks. Rising investment will fuel the nation's economic expansion, now in its 17th year, and add to pressure on the central bank to raise borrowing costs amid the fastest inflation since 1991.

Australian Dollar Rises to Highest Since 1984 on Rate Advantage
Feb. 28 (Bloomberg) -- The Australian dollar rose to its highest level in almost 24 years on speculation the nation's interest-rate advantage over the U.S. will keep widening.
The currency advanced for a sixth day, the longest winning streak since August, as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke signaled the U.S. central bank is prepared to cut its 3 percent interest rate to shore up a faltering economy. Australia's dollar was buoyed as investors bought the nation's higher- yielding assets in anticipation the central bank will raise its 7 percent benchmark rate again next week to slow inflation.

Feds bet on recession
Posted by theroxylandr under Economics, Finance, Investing, Money (edit this)
Today morning I heard quite a smart guy at Boomberg radio (not sure what his name was). He made several interesting points on inflation:
1. Historically, inflation usually peaks during second half of the recession
What does it mean? If this recession indeed started in December and will end in December of ‘08 it is totally normal to expect the inflation to peak somewhere in late Summer or even Autumn period.
2. When the recession starts inflation takes care of itself
It doesn’t matter what Feds do after the recession already had started, the inflation eventually fade. The hyperinflation scenario (1970s) happens because of the Feds actions before the recession
3. Feds made a huge bet that we are or soon will be in recession
The greatest risk in Feds aggressive rate cuts is not that it may fail to prevent a recession. Just in opposite. The greatest risk to the economy happens if after those aggressive rate cuts we do not fall into recession, because in that case the inflation will not take care of itself. Then Feds will be forced to raise rates to the moon and the hell will break lose.
That could explain why Feds were very tight back in January. They tried to force the economy into recession, because this is the optimal outcome. In the past few weeks they got enough evidence that we are in recession and now they can finally relax the monetary policy.
This economy needs a recession badly and, fortunately, we are in recession. All goes well, or at least according to plan :-)

That's perfect for a closed economy.
What if inflation is driven mainly by developing countries?
Why did they condone the creation of the RE bubble in the first place? were they that afraid of a deflationist spiral?

i remember, it might either be honest work, or it may have followed heavy positioning for the bearish case. for example prop desk traders have been massively bearish lately.

This morning the market followed through on 3 day cycle indicator sell signals that triggered yesterday morning, and 5 day cycle sell signals that triggered in the afternoon when I was not here. Dow just smashed the 5 day cycle AM at 12637, now at a shport line at 12580, headed for 8 day cycle MA at 12533. spx smashed 5 day at 1376.25 heading for 8 day at 1366.49
In both cases a two day head and shoulders pattern with weak right shoulders broke down. Big reversals often start with small reversals.
qqqq moved lower overnight to open at the 8 day cycle MA at 44.11. It briefly bounced to the 3 day cycle MA at 44.21, but is now headed back down. The 5 day cycle MA is at 44.19.

That hit, which translates to a loss of $3.97 a share, was far larger than expected. Freddie's report comes just one day after Fannie Mae recorded a $3.6 billion loss. In response, Moody's put Fannie's credit rating on watch for a possible downgrade. Fobbs

Good thoughts on inflation.
As the US slides into recession, it will have a lagging effect on foreign economies. Global growth will slow after after the US. If inflation falls after recession kicks in (as roxy's quote put it), then we will need to watch for it to fall after other foreign economies have slowed.
I like to watch copper as a global inflation barometer since it is used in so many ways in every country. Right now it looks like its trying to break out. based on this indicator, inflation is on the rise right now, which would also indicate global growth is still strong.
I guess we'll have to wait and see how bad the US recession gets and what effect it has on global growth and inflation.

DJ Bush Calls US Senate Housing Bill A Bailout For Speculators
WASHINGTON (Dow Jones)--U.S. President George W. Bush took aim at
Congressional proposals to help struggling homeowners, saying a proposed
Senate bill would provide an unnecessary bailout for lenders and speculators.
Bush, speaking at his first formal press conference of the year, also
expressed optimism about the U.S. economy, despite a spate of recent bad news.
"I don't think we're headed to a recession, but no question we're in a
slowdown," Bush said.
He said the $152 billion stimulus package passed earlier this month should
help sustain consumer spending. Rebate checks are expected to be sent in
mid-May, he said.
"We want to sustain the American consumer, encourage the American consumer,"
Bush said.
