Bernanke Sees Improvement

Bernanke is seeing improvement in the financial institutions. I think we will see a few more reports like this over the summer as the Fed sets up to finally address the inflation issue. Due to the elections the Fed will be afraid they might be seen as trying to influence the outcome so they will hold off on interest rate hikes. If the "good news" comes earlier we may see hikes sooner and then a lull during the election. Be sure to watch Wednesday's CPI report.
