「我離港前到過一間精神科醫院。當時有位病人禮貌地問,一個以作為世上最悠久民主政體而自傲的國家,如何能夠將此地交給一個政治制度非常不同的國家,且既沒諮詢當地公民,又沒給予他們民主的前景,好讓他們捍衞自己的將來。一個隨行同事說,奇怪,香港提出最理智問題的人,竟在精神科醫院。」彭定康 金融時報

“During a visit to a mental hospital before I left Hong Kong, a patient politely asked me how a country that prided itself on being the oldest democracy in the world had come to be handing over his city to another country with a very different system of government, without either consulting the citizens or giving them the prospect of democracy to safeguard their future. Strange, said one of my aides, that the man with the sanest question in Hong Kong is in a mental hospital.”Chris Patten Financial Times

美聯儲局維持利率不變

美聯儲局維持利率不變



美國聯邦儲備局一如市場預期,決定將聯邦基金利率保持在現有的5.25%不變。

這是聯儲局自去年6月以來連續第7次作出維持現行利率水平的決定。

聯儲局在會後聲明指,經濟未來有可能適度擴張,政策主要憂慮依然是通貨膨脹不如預期般穩定的風險,因此,未來政策調整將取決於通貨膨脹和經濟成長演變狀況。


Federal Reserve Press Release 2007-05-09

The Federal Open Market Committee decided today to keep its target for the federal funds rate at 5-1/4 percent.

Economic growth slowed in the first part of this year and the adjustment in the housing sector is ongoing. Nevertheless, the economy seems likely to expand at a moderate pace over coming quarters.

Core inflation remains somewhat elevated. Although inflation pressures seem likely to moderate over time, the high level of resource utilization has the potential to sustain those pressures.

In these circumstances, the Committee's predominant policy concern remains the risk that inflation will fail to moderate as expected. Future policy adjustments will depend on the evolution of the outlook for both inflation and economic growth, as implied by incoming information.

Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were: Ben S. Bernanke, Chairman; Timothy F. Geithner, Vice Chairman; Thomas M. Hoenig; Donald L. Kohn; Randall S. Kroszner; Cathy E. Minehan; Frederic S. Mishkin; Michael H. Moskow; William Poole; and Kevin M. Warsh.

美國貿易赤字增加,紐約股市早上偏軟,道指報13,312,跌50點;納指報2563,跌12點。

美國聯邦儲備局維持息口不變,刺激華爾街再創新高,而過去八個交易日有六日是創新高,皆因受到理想的業績支持,但有分析認為,現時升勢有點過份。

HSBC 匯丰 (滙豐 0005) 已經為美國物業二按撇賬﹐損手在先﹐希望不要難埋腳在後﹐成為Total Losses! 美國聯邦利率不下﹐相信物業按揭仍有很多壞賬。


貿易赤字增加﹐股市下跌祇是短期﹐但以上的加上伊拉克的軍費﹐令到美元長期低企﹐而港幣因隨著聯繫匯率而處於偏弱﹐才是香港人的煩惱。


D學者話好﹐有利於出口! 匯率低有惠遊客消費! 香港有乜製造出口? 充其量是轉口內地產品﹐但香港人的衣食住行﹐柴米油鹽﹐都是靠入口﹐港幣對人民幣匯率跌了多少﹐大家心裡有數。


對於香港由通縮轉頭通漲﹐各位高薪厚高職可能不覺﹐我呢D 底層打工仔﹐壓力重擔愈來愈大﹐社會貧富懸殊加劇。澳門已經在 5-1 遊行顯露出來﹐曾政府如果還是發其CEPA﹑九加二的春秋大夢﹐7-1 整一鑊勁o既在胡總面前出醜。


看來還有個半月﹐曾特首要安撫一下基層﹐出一D口術至得了!
