Weekly Update: The Fed and Best Stocks of the Week

04/28/2006

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke hinted this week that the central bank may pause its interest rate tightening cycle. This came on the same day that the Chinese central bank surprisingly raised interest rates, sending jitters throughout the equity markets.

Despite Bernanke's good news, the S&P 500 finished down slightly (-0.05%) for the week.

Positive news affecting our recommendations included an upgrade for US Airways, continued ethanol demand for Andersons Inc., and an improved revenue forecast for Level 3 Communications Inc.
