Your Kind of Day?

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:06:48 GMT

As a rule, I try not to read too terribly much into a "Fed Day" as there is usually a big batch of volatility that may or may not mean much of anything come the dawn of the next day. Maybe, it's just me. Or maybe there are others that find themselves inclined to simply stand aside and watch the nuttiness from the sidelines on "Fed Days." But in any event, the volatility after a Fed announcement, while fun to watch, may not be telling as to what to expect in the future.[More...]

BSP holds rates steady to support reconstruction

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:50:00 GMT

Nov. 6--THE Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) on Thursday decided to keep its key policy rates steady, confident that the typhoon-induced calamities would have a limited impact on food prices.
In a press briefing, BSP Governor Amando Tetangco Jr. said the Monetary Board maintained its overnight borrowing or reverse repurchase (RRP) rate at 4 percent and the overnight lending or repurchase (RP) rate at 6 percent.
The latest inflation forecast reflected a slightly higher path, but remained closer to the lower bound of the target over the policy horizon," Tetangco said.
