FEDERAL RESERVE, BEN BERNANKE, INTEREST RATES, RECESSION, CREDIT CRUNCH
By AP

Federal Reserve chief Ben Bernanke Thursday said the outlook for economic growth was sluggish at best, even as the government reported record exports trimmed the U.S. trade deficit last year, suggesting the economy at the end of 2007 was not as weak as earlier thought.

Bernanke told the Senate Banking Committee the economic outlook had worsened in recent months and risks to growth had picked up, indicating the Fed's aggressive interest rate cuts since late last year had yet to work their magic.

The Fed chief's assessment took some of the shine off news that the U.S. trade deficit with the rest of the world narrowed 6.2 percent to total $711.6 billion in 2007, down from the record set in 2006. It was the largest annual percentage drop since 1991.

A smaller trade gap for the month of December may prompt economists to raise their estimates of 2007 fourth-quarter U.S. growth. A separate report showed claims for jobless benefits fell last week, but remained somewhat elevated.

Bernanke's assessment indicated the economy still had to work through a soft patch before improving later this year and left intact market expectations for more monetary easing when the Fed meets to set interest rates next month.

"Bernanke's comments were in line with his recent rhetoric -- the focus on the downside risk to economy -- and the Fed is going to cut rates again," said Ken Landon, global foreign exchange strategist at JP Morgan Chase in New York.


"His comment on growth later in the year is a bit tentative. We do expect growth to pick up because of the rate cuts and there is usually a nine-month lag. But I don't think that will hold him back from cutting rates further."
According to the government's initial estimate, the economy grew by 0.6 percent in the fourth quarter of 2007. That figure is subject to further revisions by the government.

Futures markets have fully factored in the likelihood that the Fed at its March policy meeting will cut its benchmark overnight federal funds target rate by half a percentage point to 2.50 percent.

On Wall Street, stocks were lower on the day, while the dollar also dipped.

However, U.S. government bonds, which generally perform better during times of economic weakness, headed lower in price.


A strong global economy and a weakening dollar have propelled U.S. exports to new highs, which helped the world's largest economy narrow its annual trade deficit last year for the first time in six years.

U.S. exports of goods and services set a record in December, pushing the total for the year to a record $1.62 trillion, and are a key source of support to an economy expected to struggle in other areas during the first half of this year.

Bernanke said further cuts in home-building and related activities are likely, and said a softer jobs market, higher energy prices and falling home values could be expected to weigh on consumer spending in the near term.
Bernanke said the Fed will soon revise its growth outlook for 2008 to be "reasonably consistent" with estimates from private forecasters.

In November the Fed had forecast 2008 growth at 1.8 percent to 2.5 percent. This week, however, the Blue Chip Economic Forecast panel of economists projected 2008 growth of 1.7 percent, down from a prior forecast of 2.2 percent.


Bernanke also noted inflation had moved up as a result of soaring prices for oil and food, as well as the weaker dollar, adding that risks of price growth bear close watching.

In fact, without high oil prices, the annual U.S. trade deficit might have diminished further. The petroleum deficit accounted for more than 40 percent of the total deficit in 2007 and hit a record $293.5 billion.

Overall imports set a record for the year at $2.33 trillion. The United States also imported a record $331.2 billion worth of oil in 2007.

On the job front, the number of U.S. workers filing new claims for jobless benefits fell 9,000 last week, although the four-week moving average of new claims, which is considered a more reliable gauge, rose to its highest since Oct. 22, 2005, which was in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

China says play fair over Beijing/Darfur link

By Nick MulvenneyWed Feb 13, 12:34 PM ET



China urged activists linking its stance over Sudan to the Beijing Olympics to play fair and rebel groups in Darfur praised the decision by film director Steven Spielberg to quit as an artistic adviser to the Games.

Spielberg said he was withdrawing his services because of China's policy on the Darfur conflict. China is accused by critics of providing diplomatic cover as Khartoum stonewalls efforts to send peacekeepers into the western region.

His conscience would not allow him to continue his work on the opening and closing ceremonies for the August Games while "unspeakable crimes" continued to be committed, Spielberg said.

The Chinese embassy in Washington, while not directly referring to Spielberg's decision, called on "relevant parties" to respect the facts about the "positive role played by China on the Darfur issue" and shy away from politicizing the Olympics.

"As the Darfur issue is neither an internal issue of China, nor is it caused by China, it is completely unreasonable, irresponsible and unfair for certain organizations and individuals to link the two as one," the embassy statement said.

Darfur's splintered rebel groups said the move by Oscar winner Spielberg could shame Beijing, a major investor in Sudan's oil industry and the East African country's largest supplier of weapons, into changing its stance on the region.

"This will send a message to other countries, other individuals and athletes, who haven't taken a strong stance on Darfur up to now," said spokesman for the insurgent Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) Ahmed Hussein Adam.
"We are calling on all countries to boycott the Olympics, athletes as well."
Some 200,000 people have died and 2.5 million have been driven from their homes in more than four years of conflict in Sudan's western region of Darfur, according to estimates by international experts. Khartoum puts the death toll at 9,000.

A spokesman for the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games (BOCOG) said no reaction to Spielberg's move was expected on Wednesday while an International Olympic Committee (IOC) official said his decision was a personal one.

"The IOC has not been part of the relationship between Spielberg and the Games' organizers. It is not for the IOC to make a particular comment," the official told Reuters.

NINE LAUREATES
Spielberg's statement was released on the day nine Nobel Peace laureates -- including Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Elie Wiesel and Jody Williams -- sent a letter to President Hu Jintao urging a change in China's policy toward its ally Sudan.

He sent his own letter to Hu in April after actor and Darfur activist Mia Farrow said he risked becoming to the Beijing Games what Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl was to the 1936 Berlin Olympics.

The winner of the European Union's top prize for human rights, Sudanese lawyer Salih Osman, said it was perfectly valid to use the Olympics as a stick to beat China.

"This is a simple balance or decision between money and oil or people's lives," Osman told Reuters in a telephone interview on Wednesday.

"We cannot allow the Games to undermine the lives of innocent people in Darfur. The Olympics is the opportunity to make China listen, why shouldn't we use it as a stick? Spielberg expressed his position, so others should do the same."


New York-based watchdog Human Rights Watch said Spielberg's withdrawal should prompt other influential outsiders, such as governments, corporate sponsors and National Olympic Committees to press Beijing for reform.
"These influential players should be prepared to show the steps they are taking to address the worsening rights climate in China, or they risk being tarnished by a human rights debacle," Minky Worden, the pressure group's media director, said in a statement.

The Chinese government has rejected attempts to influence their foreign and domestic policy by leveraging the Beijing Games. More than 30,000 international media are expected to descend on the Chinese capital for the Games, intensifying scrutiny on the government and its human rights record.

The Games take place from August 8-24.
