The Day Ahead

Good morning, on this the 48th day of 2005. On deck today again is Fed Chairman Greenspan being questioned by House representatives for several hours this morning; the Philly Fed index at 12 is also a closely watched measure which occasionally moves markets.

Hot on the heels of Chairman Greenspan’s testimony yesterday where he stated that import prices are unlikely to remain as contained as in recent past, today’s import prices index rose 0.9%, the first rise in three months.1
