"How can I know what I think until I read what I write?" – Henry James


There are a few lone voices willing to utter heresy. I am an avid follower of Ilusion Monetaria, a blog by ex-Bank of Spain economist (and monetarist) Miguel Navascues here.
Dr Navascues calls a spade a spade. He exhorts Spain to break free of EMU oppression immediately. (Ambrose Evans-Pritchard)

En http://ftalphaville.ft.com/, una reflexión interesante, buscándole las vueltas al comunicado del FOMC. Y es que hay un párrafo que se parece bastante a otro que estaba en el comunicado de septiembre 2010. ¿Ustedes ven alguna diferencia?
Comunicado de ayer:
The Committee discussed the range of policy tools available to promote a stronger economic recovery in a context of price stability. It will continue to assess the economic outlook in light of incoming information and is prepared to employ these tools as appropriate.
This has got some analysts, including the Goldman Sachs Global Economics group, hearing echoes of a “promise” made in the final paragraph of the September 2010 FOMC statement, which foreshadowed the introduction of QE2:
Comunicado de hace un año
The Committee will continue to monitor the economic outlook and financial developments and is prepared to provide additional accommodation if needed to support the economic recovery and to return inflation, over time, to levels consistent with its mandate.
The difference this time around, of course, is the absence of any reference to the Fed being “prepared to provide additional accommodation if needed”.
Aún siendo menos contundente, de aquí algunos quieren inferir que habrá operación QE3.  La respuesta, si la hubiere, en la Reunión anual de Jakson Hole, finales de agosto, donde el año pasado Bernanke anunció el QE2.
