Will the Fed cause a recession to save the Dollar?
*The Economist, November 29, 2007:
The Panic About the Dollar
"A full-blown dollar collapse would be disastrous. Thankfully, it need
not happen
THE weather may be cold and wet, but in the rich world's financial
markets it is beginning to feel like August all over again. Credit
spreads have widened and shares are pitching from gloom to elation as
investors look to the Federal Reserve for solace. The anxiety is
unmistakable. But this time the scare is about more than bad mortgage
loans and their baleful effect on the credit markets. America may be
falling into recession. And a new fear now stalks the markets: that the
dollar's slide could spin out of control.
A full-blown dollar crisis on top of a credit crunch and a weakening
economy would be frightening. It would send financial markets reeling
and tie the hands of the Fed, perhaps forcing it to raise interest
rates even as recession looms."
