Ben Bernanke Speaks - Live Webcast

His speeches are not usually give major impacts on the market as he is not a good speaker. So, it may weaken USD.

Sorry, any one can tell me the report hawkish than expected or not. Thanks

did you remember when he was speaking made usd falling down???its all about market.

so therefore who can say what will be to EUR/USD

pray for usd falling then eur will hit 1.3120 before friday close.

Why does Ben always look and sound so nervous?

Maso He might not be a good speaker but there is nothing wrong with his understanding and approach to get out of the mess the banks brought the world into

He is being realistic

Dollar is targeting to close by 1.2950 by the end of Friday close against the EURO

Because deep down inside, where he ticks, he's probably a decent bloke who knows the usd is fukced as is the usa economy, but he has his orders from tptb and will follow them given there's no alternative other than a debt jubilee. The one dimensional track of QE to infinity, whilst keeping taxes low for the mirage that is the American Dream, is the only ammo they have and it's failing.

^^ love it

so, why the markets going down?

to trigger a possible algo

The word you are looking for is unconfident (even dictionary does not have that word, he is great) )

Jeez since when are we sympathizing to tech people, whose job to work out situation and problems in hand... He has cried enough, he has little guts compared to Greenspan..
Having said that, if he has limiatation call the President and make this moving, if he really knows what is he suppose to do.. else like they said "Sleeping on the job", hes not tech enough to do that high profile job.... for god sake thats his job.. its not unpresidented situation like 9/11 or 26/11 ...and every meeting if hes going to make faces and show sincerity like Mr. Teflon tight guy Kofi Anna good for nothing...
I personally believe such a job profile usually comes with more responsibility hence he is suppose to act be it Embargo on manufacturing, taxing, tax cuts etc...whatever it takes, lend some of gold to world council and get some doh...

Bernanke is creating the biggest bond bubble in American history.

He is clueless

USD/JPY - 102.5 in sight ..

Bernanke says whatever ... usd will strengthen until the end of this year

Dollar stong. Manipulation at his best. Dollar will conquer all of other major currencies.

How is this good for Americans esp its struggling?
its good for china and other countries, sure, stronger dollar good inflow - better trade deficit against US...

GBPUSD and USDCHF are big suprisers today, cable is getting hammered

How is this helping the american debt?
Guess this is why countries are recovering there gold, as the usd standard is about to be removed.

I am American and it very good. when we had Euro/USD parity the oil was in $30's and I filled my gas tank under $2/gal. I could travel to Europe, Brasil, etc. and spent money w/out counting. I had side business and imported plumbing fixtures from China. It's all went down to drain when Bush/Bernanke stall good life from us by starting printing trillions. hope one day they go to jail.

All is wrong, time for selling

Because he's a filthy liar with a conscience.

Every time he opens his mouth, the voice inside of him says,

"they're not believing you Ben",

Yes and it's about time.
