Number' on Fed backed tapering as early as June
Reply
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - While there was no consensus among Federal Reserve officials on when the central bank could begin to slow down asset purchases, a "number" of central bank officials were willing to taper as soon as their next meeting in June, according to the minutes of their April 30-May 1 meeting released Wednesday. On the other hand, a "couple" of Fed officials said the Fed might have to ease more if inflation fell further. One Fed official wanted to stop the bond purchases immediately, while another wanted to increase the size of the program. Fed Chief Ben Bernanke told Congress earlier that the central bank could begin to taper the asset purchases in "the next few meetings" if the data continues to improve. The minutes also revealed the Fed started a review of their exit strategy principles last released to the public in 2011. The officials decided that "the broad principles" were still valid but the central bank was likely to need greater flexibility in the details. No decisions were made and Bernanke asked the staff to do more work on the issue for the policymakers to review in the future.

WSJ Blog: Parsing Fed Minutes: Debating When to Pull Back
Reply
Below are key passages in the minutes and how to read them:
1) "A number of participants expressed willingness to adjust the flow of purchases downward as early as the June meeting if the economic information received by that time showed evidence of sufficiently strong and sustained growth; however, views differed about what evidence would be necessary and the likelihood of that outcome."
WHAT IT MEANS: The Fed will debate at its June 18-19 meeting whether to reduce its $85-billion per month bond-buying program, but officials don't appear near a consensus on the matter. Fed chairman Ben Bernanke suggested in testimony to Congress earlier in the day that he wanted to avoid moving prematurely toward pulling back.
2) "Several participants pointed to the improvement in interest-sensitive sectors, such as consumer durables and housing, over the recent period as evidence that the purchases were having positive results for the economy."
WHAT IT MEANS: The Fed talks about the costs and benefits of its policies. So far, they think the bond buying program is still helping the economy.
3) "Economic data releases over the intermeeting period were mixed, raising some concern that the recovery might be slowing after a solid start earlier this year, thereby repeating the pattern observed in recent years. Various views on this prospect were offered, from those participants who put more emphasis on the underlying momentum of the economy, noting the strengthening in private domestic final demand, to those who stressed the growing fiscal restraint or the other headwinds still facing the economy."
WHAT IT MEANS: Fed officials are hesitant about their next step on monetary policy in part because they're especially uncertain about how the economy unfolds in the next few months, in the face of tighter fiscal policies.
4) "Both headline and core PCE inflation in the first quarter came in below the Committee's longer-run goal of 2 percent, but these recent lower readings appeared to be due, in part, to temporary factors; other measures of inflation as well as inflation expectations had remained more stable. Accordingly, participants generally continued to expect that inflation would move closer to the 2 percent objective over the medium run."
WHAT IT MEANS: The Fed's favored inflation measures have dropped well below its 2% target, but officials aren't deeply concerned about it yet.
5) "Participants began a review of the exit strategy principles that were published in the minutes of the Committee's June 2011 meeting ... The broad principles adopted almost two years ago appeared generally still valid, but developments since then--including the change in the size and composition of (System Open Market Account) asset holdings-- suggested a need for greater flexibility regarding the details of implementing policy normalization, particularly because those details would appropriately depend at least in part upon future economic and financial developments."
WHAT IT MEANS: The Fed is reviewing a plan to sell its mortgage backed securities some day in the future. It might not do so, but it hasn't reached a decision yet and isn't sure when it will detail the new plan. The staff will study it further.
6) "Several participants raised the possibility that the federal funds rate might not, in the future, be the best indicator of the general level of short-term interest rates, and supported further staff study of potential alternative approaches to implementing monetary policy in the longer term and of possible new tools to improve control over short-term interest rates."
WHAT IT MEANS: In normal times the Fed moves the federal funds rate -- a rate that banks charge each other for overnight loans -- to manage the broader spectrum of rates in the financial system. But because it has pumped so much money into the financial system, its control over this rate might have diminished. Fed officials have become more focused on another rate that they do control directly -- a rate it pays banks that keep reserves on deposit with the central bank -- as one of its main policy levers in the future. Now officials appear to be gearing up to study these relationships more carefully.

WSJ Blog: Fed Minutes Pull Plug on Stock Rally
What is 410 words and is released precisely 180 seconds after the FOMC's minutes? Why Jon Hilsenrath's FOMC minute-parsing piece of course. Which we can only assume means Jon was on the "preapproved" list for early distribution and pre-analysis, because not even we can analyze and type that fast. We are confident he did not breach the embargo. Because that would not look good for the Fed already being investigated by the Inspector General for last month's humilating breach.
So what did Hilsy have to say this time? This:...............................................
Trust Hilsenrath to miss the most important part of the minutes, which was this - the first "on the FOMC record" admission by some that the Fed is officially blowing a bubble:

Quite a comedown for U.S. stocks at this point in the session, as major averages slide into negative territory after earlier spiking higher upon release of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's prepared testimony.
Dow industrials were up almost 155 points at their high, now down 35. Tech-heavy Nasdaq Comp falls 31 points and S&P 500 sheds 9 points.
FOMC minutes highlight deeper debate over asset purchases, spooking some of the fast money that's afraid of the central bank tapering its bond-buying program.

Washington has all but abandoned efforts to help the economy recover faster � and lawmakers don�t seem worried that voters will punish them for it.
There are no serious negotiations underway between the White House and congressional leaders on legislation to spur growth, and no bipartisan �gangs� of senators are huddling to craft a compromise job-creation package.
Yet economic growth remains slow by historical standards, and 11.5 million Americans are still looking for work. More than 4 million people have been unemployed for longer than six months.
But lawmakers appear to feel little electoral pressure to address those concerns. They disagree vehemently over what actions would make a difference, and lately they�ve been distracted by other issues and scandals. There also is mounting evidence that the political donor class � wealthier Americans � is feeling a stock-market-fueled surge of optimism about the economy. It all adds up to inaction
As rich gain optimism, lawmakers lose economic urgency

Ben grabs a mike at 10am NYT to preposterously posture and pretend that he and his gang can revive the economy, that they are the authors of an instruction manual on how to fix it - and never mind that it broke while under their watch to begin. And more importantly never mind that their first priority is to back-stop their banking buddies from collapse.

we were at immediate post cyprus highs so gets difficult here for the pair, but i dont see a large tail today and think the gains will be held until tomorrows european pmis, which can go either way as they have been threatening improvement albeit from very low levels. see support at 8550 initially then 8517, possibly some at 8530. 8600 probably safe today, might be looked at tomorrow depending on data.

while i dont think bernanke will skew to the side of further easing, i think he will present a balanced view, identifying risks on both sides. but this is enough to hit the dollar as the market has a misguided notion that qe is about to be tapered. during the last month we have seen data disappoint, a list as long as your arm. it doesnt mean more qe but certainly doesnt suggest tapering soon.

Bank of Spain investigation finds that Spanish banks are hiding part of their customer's real nonpe
Of the �208.2B in non-performing loans Spanish banks have refinanced (in order to avoid recognizing them as NPLs), nearly half are treated as though they are not distressed, dubiously eliminating the need to take provisions against them, FT says. These banks have until September to reclassify restructured loans under tougher guidelines, a mandate that will likely necessitate fresh provisioning at some institutions. Between them, Santander (SAN), BBVA, and Caixabank (CAIXY.PK) had �76B in refinanced debt on their books at the end of last year.

Dollar retreats broadly on Fed Bullard's comments
The greenback pared early gains against majority of its peers ahead of Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's testimony in Congress on Wednesday after St. Louis Fed President James Bullard dented hopes that the Fed might taper its bond purchases anytime soon.
Fed's Bullard said 'asset buying is best policy option for central banks when interest rates near zero; Fed should continue QE, adjusting pace of bond buying according of incoming data.'
Versus the Japanese yen, the greenback rallied at Asian open and rose to 102.76 in Asian morning after Japan Economy Minister Akira Amari clarified his weekend's comments regarding the yen's recent weakness. Dollar continued to trade with firm undertone and climbed to an intra-day high at 102.89 ahead of New York open. However, dollar pared intra-day gains and tumbled to 102.25 in New York afternoon after St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said policymakers should continue buying bonds because it's the best available option to boost growth that is slower than expected.
Japan's Amari said 'hope fx market can strike balance between impact on imports n exports; no comment on whether correction in excessive yen strength is over; hope fx market settles at a level in line with economic fundamentals.'
Although the single currency dropped sharply to 1.2863 in early Asian morning, price rebounded to 1.2902 at European open. However, euro met renewed selling there and dropped to session low at 1.2841 ahead of European open before rallying in New York morning on dollar's strength following comments from Fed's Bullard. Price eventually rose to an intra-day high at 1.2934 in New York afternoon before easing.
Although the British pound came under selling pressure at Asian open and dropped to 1.5221 in Asian morning, price recovered to 1.5263 at European open. However, cable met renewed selling there and tumbled in European morning after a government report showed inflation slowed more than economists forecast, giving the central bank more room to boost stimulus that tends to weaken a currency. Price continued to ratchet lower and hit an intra-day low at 1.5113 in New York morning. Later, the pound pared intra-day losses and rebounded strongly to 1.5180 in New York afternoon on dollar's weakness before stabilising.
U.K. CPI in April came in at 0.2% m/m n 2.4% y/y, lower than the forecast of 0.4% n 2.4% respectively.
In other news, ECB's Liikanen said 'ECB measures have helped narrow bond spread; ECB measures have credibility.'
On the data front, German PPI in April came in at -0.2% m/m n 0.1% y/y, vs the expectation of -0.1% n 0.2% respectively.
Data to be released on Wednesday:
Australia consumer confidence, Japan trade balance, export, import, BoJ rate decision, EU current account, UK BoE meeting minutes, PS net borrowing, CBI industrial trend, Canada retail sales and U.S. existing home sales.
