Dienstag 12. Dezember 2006, 20:20 Uhr


WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - Die US-Notenbank hat ihren Leitzins wie von Experten erwartet nicht verändert. Der Leitzinssatz verharre bei 5,25 Prozent, teilte die Federal Reserve (Fed) am Dienstag in Washington mit. Volkswirte hatten mit dieser Entscheidung gerechnet. Damit hat die Notenbank zum vierten Mal in Folge den Leitzins unverändert belassen. Zuletzt hatten die US-Währungshüter den Leitzins Ende Juni um 0,25 Prozentpunkte erhöht./js/sc

in dem Fall Nasdaq, aber eigentlich ist doch fast egal, was.
Wenn die Zinsen in USA doch noch mal angehoben werden, geht's (fast) überall bergab, würde ich vermuten.

Release Date: December 12, 2006



For immediate release

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

Economic growth has slowed over the course of the year, partly reflecting a substantial cooling of the housing market. Although recent indicators have been mixed, the economy seems likely to expand at a moderate pace on balance over coming quarters.

Readings on core inflation have been elevated, and the high level of resource utilization has the potential to sustain inflation pressures. However, inflation pressures seem likely to moderate over time, reflecting reduced impetus from energy prices, contained inflation expectations, and the cumulative effects of monetary policy actions and other factors restraining aggregate demand.

Nonetheless, the Committee judges that some inflation risks remain. The extent and timing of any additional firming that may be needed to address these risks 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; Susan S. Bies; Donald L. Kohn; Randall S. Kroszner; Frederic S. Mishkin; Sandra Pianalto; William Poole; Kevin M. Warsh; and Janet L. Yellen. Voting against was Jeffrey M. Lacker, who preferred an increase of 25 basis points in the federal funds rate target at this meeting.

Fed statement disappointing for market - fund manager

Last Update: 2:33 PM ET Dec 12, 2006

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The Federal Reserve's comments on the economy and inflation, which accompanied the Fed's decision to leave interest rates unchanged on Tuesday, were disappointing for market participants, according to John Norris, chief economist and senior fund manager at Morgan Keegan & Co. While the Fed noted "a significant cooling" of the housing market, the central bank kept its emphasis on inflation and left the door open for further rate hikes. "Their view on housing was recognizing something that everybody already knows," Norris said. "The no change in the second part of the statement on inflation will leave some disappointed," he added.
