Commentary:

"FOMC Chairman Greenspan, speaking before the House of Representatives Banking Committee, said that the recent slowdown in consumer spending because of inflation should prove "short term" stating that higher fuel prices dampened consumer spending and confidence. However, the softness in spending should prove 'short lived'. The Philly Fed's Chairman said today he sees 'economic growth'," stated Sonja Rudd in Wall Street News Alert's daily commentary continued at: http://www.WallStreetNewsAlert.com.
