Macro Market Commentary
The market was mostly flat across the week as fears over Chinese growth figures were largely offset by positive US news as
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke indicated Congress can do more to help the US economy. The Australian dollar
was up, ending the week at US91.9 cents. LCC expects some exchange rate volatility as the market attempts to gauge the
outlook for US quantitative easing following Bernanke's comments.
Ratings firm Moody's has also raised its outlook on the US economy to "stable" from "negative". The action reflects Moody's
assessment that the federal government's debt is on a more sustainable path.
Kevin Rudd announced he will dump the carbon tax, replacing it with an emissions trading scheme. Axing the current fixed
price for a market determined floating price could see the cost of carbon drop to as little as $6 a tonne.
