Press Release
Release Date: December 11, 2007
For immediate release
The Federal Open Market Committee decided today tolower its target for the federal funds rate 25 basis points to 4-1/4 percent.
Incoming information suggests that economic growth is slowing, reflecting the intensification of the housing correction and some softening in business and consumer spending. Moreover, strains in financial markets have increased in recent weeks. Today’s action, combined with the policy actions taken earlier, should help promote moderate growth over time.
Readings on core inflation have improved modestly this year, but elevated energy and commodity prices, among other factors, may put upward pressure on inflation. In this context, the Committee judges that some inflation risks remain, and it will continue to monitor inflation developments carefully.
Recent developments, including the deterioration in financial market conditions, have increased the uncertainty surrounding the outlook for economic growth and inflation. The Committee will continue to assess the effects of financial and other developments on economic prospects and will act as needed to foster price stability and sustainable economic growth.
Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were: Ben S. Bernanke, Chairman; Timothy F. Geithner, Vice Chairman; Charles L. Evans; Thomas M. Hoenig; Donald L. Kohn; Randall S. Kroszner; Frederic S. Mishkin; William Poole; and Kevin M. Warsh. Voting against was Eric S. Rosengren, who preferred to lower the target for the federal funds rate by 50 basis points at this meeting.
In a related action, the Board of Governors unanimously approved a 25-basis-point decrease in the discount rate to 4-3/4 percent. （公定歩合も0.25%利下げ） In taking this action, the Board approved the requests submitted by the Boards of Directors of the Federal Reserve Banks of New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Atlanta, Chicago, and St. Louis.
予想通りの結果でした。
株、為替マーケットはどのように反応したのでしょうか。
↓のチャートを見る前に想像してみてください。
・米株 →
・CME日経先物 →
・ドル円 →
・ユーロドル →
・クロス円 →
・金 →
・原油 →
チャートを見れば一目瞭然、株安、ドル高（ドル安ではありません）、円高、資源安、でした。
対円ではドル安でしたが、対円以外ではドル高になっています。
この結果、クロス円が大暴落しました。
チャートを見ると分かりますが、
ダウ、ドル円、クロス円が、気持ち悪いくらい綺麗に
同じようなチャートになっています。
通常、利下げは株では好材料なのですが、
ダウは一瞬で200ドル暴落しました。
「世界バブル経済終わりの始まり」かもしれません。
株バブル、クロス円バブル、ドル安バブル、資源バブルは、
まさに今目の前で、はじけて、消えようとしています。
