Third quarter GDP revised down to 2.0 percent rise as the broad measure of the nation's economy is weaker than expected. The Fed is between a rock and a hard place now with a tanking USD and a slowing down economy.

The growth is definitely lagging, evident from the tech stocks, but as long as the dollar keeps showing the strength it is showing, the gov't will continue to add the liquidity until they break it again... The Fed and Treasury are pumping non-stop, the temporary repo amounts again exceeded $30B and the frequency of the POMOs have increased. There was another one yesterday. The treasury is also adding daily $3-5B in TIOs.

So far the bounce from the sell off action two days earlier looks corrective, if the USD resumes its slide, the market should not wait too long.

I think the gov't sees that the highest inflation numbers might be already behind. So, they are also probably seeing that the dollar has bottomed and they are trying to support the market until the year end at least. In the cyclical work, it looks like it bottomed, but I have also indications that another low --could be a lower low-- will come in 2007...

Maybe depreciating the losses from foreclusures makes better statistics?

I'd pay attention right here to the intraday reversal in USD and the equity indices. They started to go in synch...

No relation among the economy, USD and the stock market? You may just snort at them, but the reality will rule soon or later.
