12/14/04: The Fed Raises Rates For the Fifth Time

SUSIE GHARIB:The Federal Reserve does it again. The Fed`s open market committee today raised a key short term interest rate by a .25 percentage point. The Federal funds rate now stands at 2 1/4 percent. And as Suzanne Pratt reports, that rate is likely to keep rising in 2005.

SUZANNE PRATT, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: Today`s decision makes five, five consecutive hikes in short-term interest rates since June, and five times that the Federal Reserve has done pretty much what financial markets were expecting. Experts say it`s all part of the Fed`s master plan to return rates to more normal levels from recent historic lows.

LAURENCE KANTOR, CHIEF ECONOMIST, BARCLAYS CAPITAL: The Fed is in the process of normalizing monetary policy. You`ll remember they took the funds rate all the way down to 1 percent, and the idea was to ward off any deflation risks. Those risks have now disappeared, so the Fed is in the process of taking away that extraordinary monetary stimulus.

PRATT: In the statement that accompanied today`s decision, the Fed stuck with virtually the identical assessment of the economy that it used in November and policymakers also kept the measured language that they first started using in May.

KANTOR: They are still characterizing monetary policy as accommodative, which is a signal they still have more to do since they are in the process of removing that accommodation.

PRATT: But economists are less sure that the Fed will be quite so predictable next year. Many say future rate moves will be based more on economic data than on a formula. Still, at least for now, most Fed watchers agree the central bank will hike rates again at its next meeting in early February. As for the rest of 2005, there is plenty of disagreement as to how high the Federal funds rate will ultimately go.

BILL DUDLEY, CHIEF U.S. ECONOMIST, GOLDMAN SACHS: Various Fed officials have suggested that a neutral Federal funds rate is somewhere between three and 5 percent. Chairman Greenspan has suggested that he`ll know it when he sees it, but he has not specified a level. So I think we`re going to at least 3 percent and then after that, it will really be depending much more on the data.

PRATT: Experts say perhaps the most interesting aspect of today`s announcement was the decision to speed up the release of the Fed meeting minutes. In the spirit of better transparency, financial markets will now get those minutes in three weeks rather than six. Suzanne Pratt, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT, New York.

GHARIB: Joining us now for some analysis, Michelle Girard, senior economist at Greenwich Capital management and Mike Holland, New York money manager of his own firm, Holland and Company. Hello to you both.

MICHELLE GIRARD, SR. ECONOMIST: GREENWICH CAPITAL: Hello Susie.

GHARIB: Michelle, let me begin with you, obviously no surprise. But you did hear our report at the beginning of the program saying that many people think that the future moves are going to be based more on economic data rather than a formula. Do you agree with that?

GIRARD: I think all of the moves have been to some extent date dependent. I think that`s even been the case toward the end of this year. But I do think that the Fed is going to continue to move rates. I mean what was mentioned in the package was they`ll go to 3 percent, the lower bound of neutral, before really perhaps pausing and assessing. I actually think the neutral is higher than that. So I think that they could go somewhere between four and a half, maybe even five before they really get to a point when they`re not stimulating the economy and they`re not trying to slow it down.

GHARIB: Mike, do you see any reason to slow down these rate increases?

MIKE HOLLAND, CHAIRMAN, HOLLAND AND COMPANY: I think the Fed is going to do just what Michelle said Susie. I think they are for once getting it exactly right. As Paul Kangas just reported, the Fed got an immediate report card which it always does. Both markets, the bond market and stock market gave it an A for what it did today, for what it`s doing. It`s ahead of the inflation curve, but it`s not doing it in a way that`s in any way disruptive to the market and the economy is doing just fine. So I think that right now we can look for continued measured increases, probably moving towards 4 percent by the end of next year.

GHARIB: Let me go over this neutral point that Michelle you brought up a moment ago. So what is it going to be? Is it 3 1/2 percent? Is it 4 percent? Is it 5 percent? What is neutral for the Fed?

GIRARD: Well, everybody has different ways of calculating it. The Fed, I think, has broadly put a range of three to five percent. That`s been their standard language. And as was noted, Greenspan says, he`ll know it when he sees it. Again, if you look back historically, the Fed has tended to keep rates in the 4 to 5 percent range when they were operating a rather neutral policy. So I think right now the market is leaning towards thinking 3 percent is neutral, and I think perhaps in 2005 there might be some surprise that the Fed actually raises rates further than that before they feel like they`ve hit neutral.

GHARIB: Mike, we saw modest gains in the market today. What is the market interested in these days? How critical are these measured moves in interest rates or is there some other issue that`s more important for investors right now?

HOLLAND: That`s a great question Susie, because I think the bond market and the Fed funds rate along with the dollar are keying the stock market. The stock market is under valued by most measures, including the Fed`s own measure. So I think if we get continued positive news on the economy in 2005, which is what will cause the Fed, as you were saying earlier, Alan Greenspan using the economic play book, not a formula to give him guidance for higher rates, if that all occurs, the stock market is going to do better than the 10 to 14 percent growth in earnings for the S&P which are currently forecast. Because the stock market has underperformed, other markets, including the Treasury market, which as Paul Kangas just said, it down to 4.12 percent. The 10-year Treasury, it had been as high as 4.7 earlier in the year when the Fed started.

GHARIB: Michelle, what`s the significance of this announcement by the Fed today that they`re going to be speeding up the release of their minutes, coming out within three weeks from a Fed meeting as opposed to the six weeks? What`s the significance of that?

GIRARD: It will be really interesting because right now they release the minutes after the previous meeting. So, for example, we won`t get the minutes from the November meeting until the Thursday after the December meeting has already taken place. Now, under the new format, we`re going to get the minute three weeks after the meeting. So we`ll have a chance to really look at what the Fed was talking about, what their concerns were, very quickly after the meeting. We`ll know what the Fed is really focused on. I think that will provide a lot of useful information for market participants in trying to assess what we should be looking at and what the Fed is going to be putting the most attention to.

GHARIB: Some people were saying today that these minutes could become a market event, like the same way everybody waits for the unemployment report. Do you think that`s going to happen?

GIRARD: I do think - I don`t think it would be quite as important as employment. But I do think it will certainly become one of the main releases in the inter meeting period because it will provide so much insight into what the Fed is really looking at.

GHARIB: Mike, I just want to get your take, this is probably the last time we`re going to be talking to you for 2004, to get your take on where the markets are going to go in 2005. You sounded pretty upbeat when we were just talking about issues in general for the market.

HOLLAND: Just reading where we are now Susie, listening to companies and what they are saying, beginning with companies like General Electric who have a broad exposure to world economy. Things are getting better. They`re not heating up. They`re moving moderately better and better and better. The economy is providing more jobs. Inflation is not a problem right now because the Fed is staying ahead of that. I think the stock market probably is going to surprise on the up side in 2005 for the first time in a few years.

GHARIB: Michelle, we just have a few seconds left. Bonds, outlook for 2005, are they going to surprise?

GIRARD: Well, they surprised this year, but with yields coming down even though the Fed raised interest rates, I think that they`ve got to behave a little bit more normally and I would suspect if the Feds keep raising rates, if the economy is as healthy as I think it will be, that there`s going to be upward pressure on bonds yields in 2005.

GHARIB: All right. We`ll leave it there. Happy holidays to both of you. We`ll see you in the new year. We`ve been speaking with Michelle Girard, senior economist at Greenwich Capital Management and Mike Holland of Holland and Company.

12/14/04: New Optimism For The Employment Outlook

PAUL KANGAS: The nation`s employment picture is a key factor the Fed considers when it sets interest rates, and it looks like that picture is getting brighter for next year. As Diane Eastabrook reports, a new survey by Manpower shows a growing number of U.S. employers plan to ring in the new year with new workers.

DIANE EASTABROOK, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: Manpower credits moderating oil prices and political stability in Washington for a more promising hiring forecast in the first quarter. The employment outplacement firm recently polled 16,000 U.S. companies. 24 percent plan to add employees, while 10 percent plan to cut them, a more positive outlook over last year. Meanwhile, 59 percent plan no hiring changes and 7 percent are uncertain. Manpower`s chairman and CEO also thinks employers are more optimistic overall.

JEFFREY JOERRES, CHAIRMAN & CEO, MANPOWER INC.: The sense that we`re getting and what we`re seeing in our customers and our data is that it is just the continual nature that is happening in companies, that their demand for the products and services are moving up and the bad times were far enough behind.

EASTABROOK: Manpower says the hiring bright spots in the first quarter include construction, mining and financial services. Those are encouraging signs to other jobs experts.

JOHN CHALLENGER, CEO, CHALLLENGER, GRAY, & CHRISTMAS, INC.: A lot of the jobs that are being created seem to be good jobs, not just the hamburger flipping, low-level retail jobs that seemed to mark the beginning of a jobs turnaround.

EASTABROOK: Peregrine Financial Group is one company that plans to add several high-paying sales jobs next year. The futures and options brokerage says the efficiency of online trading kept it from adding staff in recent years. Now it needs to hire more people in order to grow. But because of the new technology, the firm is focusing on candidates that are more skilled in customer service than in sales.

RUSSELL WASENDORF, CHAIRMAN & CEO, PEREGRINE FINANCIAL GROUP: We`re actually going to the call centers and finding individuals that have spent time learning the task of interfacing with customers, listening to customers, answering customer questions. And we`re teaching them our industry.

EASTABROOK: Manpower says some dark clouds still hang over the employment picture, like volatile energy prices and problems facing some foreign economies.

JOERRES: Italy, Germany and France are a little bit tenuous right now and that could be very important for the U.S.

EASTABROOK: While Manpower is optimistic about hiring during 2005, it believes companies will still remain cautious and be more measured about the way they add staff throughout the year. Diane Eastabrook, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT, Chicago.

12/14/04: "Commentary"- How Does The UN Handle Terrorism

SUSIE GHARIB: Tonight`s commentator says it`s time to take a closer look at the United Nations and how it handles terrorism. Here`s Daniel Henninger, deputy editor of the editorial page of the "Wall Street Journal."

DANIEL HENNINGER, DEPUTY EDITOR, WALL STREET JOURNAL EDITORIAL PAGE: The corruption problems at the United Nations have reached a critical point. We know that because Jay Leno is making jokes about the oil-for-food program and when the comedians move in, you`re in trouble. But the U.N. also published a report December 2nd with ideas about making the place better. One idea merits wide public support. The report says that since the U.N.`s start in 1945, its members have never agreed on an official definition of "terrorism." That failure undermines the U.N.`s moral authority. Why respect the U.N. if it can`t condemn the globe`s most awful acts? Terrorism, says the report is never an acceptable tactic, even for the most defensible of causes. Attacks that specifically target innocent civilians and noncombatants must be condemned clearly by all. The report names al Qaeda as the kind of new terrorism that deserves universal condemnation. Al Qaeda is armed, belongs to no state, has global reach, has murdered civilians in 10 nations on four continents. The future of the United Nations is in doubt not only because of oil-for- food. It too often closes its eyes to manifest evil. Anti-civilian terrorism, in the news every day now, is one such evil. The authors of this report deserve praise for calling on all members of the U.N. to define terrorism and then condemn it. I`m Dan Henninger.

  12/14/04: "Gifts & Gadgets"-The Big Gifts For The Holiday Season

SUSIE GHARIB: Well, just 10 more shopping days until Christmas, and that means it`s just about time for our annual gifts and gadgets segments. To kick things off this year, proof that bigger can be better. Here`s our technology maven, Scott Gurvey, with the details.

SCOTT GURVEY, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT CORRESPONDENT: "Big" is the word as shoppers make a beeline for their local electronics store, where the dream product of last year is now affordable for many.

TRACEY MALONE, MANAGER, BEST BUY: What we`re seeing different this year from last year is digital television. Because the prices have dropped 20 to 30 percent, customers are more likely to buy digital TVs this year. So the plasma televisions, the LCD televisions, people are trying to same space as well.

GURVEY: There is no easy answer to the question of which big TV is best. You generally get what you pay for but this is a subjective decision. Go to a store with a wide selection and judge for yourself. Look at all the displays and make sure the store is using real high definition signals. Make sure you`re looking at a set that is HD or HD ready. Even if you don`t have HD signals available now, you will soon. Of course there are signs supply is beginning to meet demand, which means prices may be down another 20 or 30 percent next year. Multimedia computers are also big sellers this year. These machines work as television sets, video recorders and DVD makers. Expect to spend about $2,000 for one of these. Dell and Hewlett Packard, as well as Apple, are leading manufacturers. The other big seller this season is the portable music player and the coolest design without question is Apple`s iPod. But Microsoft has challenged Apple`s lead by working with several dozen manufacturers on products that use its Windows media standard. These products cover a much greater range than Apple, from $50 gadgets which can store a couple of hundred songs, to portable media centers which cost $500 and $600 but can store thousands of songs and also handle video, showing movies and television programs. Microsoft has set up a web site it calls "plays for sure" to help consumers select the product that meets their needs.

MIKE COLEMAN, LEAD PRODUCT MANAGER, MICROSOFT WINDOWS DIGITAL MEDIA DIVISION: You can go up there and say, "I`m looking for a device in this price range. And I`m looking for it to be able to take it jogging, or take it on the airplane. I want it to play music. I want it to do video and it can help you narrow down that selection and point you just to the device that you want for this holiday season.

GURVEY: Microsoft has also developed software which lets you rent the music and play it for a limited amount of time. It is less expensive than buying the music outright. Scott Survey, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT, New York.

12/13/04: Paul Kangas' "Stocks In The News"

PAUL KANGAS: Wall Street was narrowly mixed this morning amid caution ahead of the Fed`s rate decision and some disappointment that the October U.S. trade deficit rose nearly 9 percent to a record high. At noon, the Dow was off six points while the NASDAQ was up eight. Then, confirming the old axiom that Wall Street likes what has been predicted, that widely expected .25 percent Fed rate increase helped stocks end on a positive note.

The Dow Industrial Average gained 38.13 points at 10,676.45. The NASDAQ Composite was up 11 1/3 points at 2159.84. Standard & Poor`s 500 closed up 4.70 at 1203.38. Over in the bond market, the 10-year note climbed 7/32 to 101, putting the yield at 4.13 percent.

New York exchange volume leader on 42.3 million shares, Sprint FON Group (FON) moving up $0.66.

However, this afternoon, Verizon said it had no imminent plans to make such a bid.

Lucent Technologies (LU) fell $0.07.

Followed by Time Warner (TWX) up $0.45.

Pfizer (PFE) a $0.17 gain. The first published study of the company`s Arisept (ph) drug shows significant benefits for early stage Alzheimer`s patients.

Motorola (MOT) was down $0.29.

Citigroup (C) moved up a dime.

Alcoa (AA) a $0.56 loss after JP Morgan downgraded it from "overweight" to "neutral" on concerns about rising costs at the firm.

And then another Dow stock, Honeywell International (HON) lost just a nickel, although Deutsche Bank Securities downgraded it from "buy" to "hold" and cut its target on the stock by $2 down to $40 a share.

Yet another Dow stock, Boeing (BA) a $0.03 loss even though the company announced late yesterday it`s boosting its quarterly dividend by 25 percent from $0.20 to $0.25 a share.

Humana (HUM) moved up $1.12, positive reaction to the company`s acquisition of Care Plus Health Plans in Florida, which will be immediately accretive to earnings. As you see, Humana`s paying $408 million for the acquisition.

The Cooper Companies (COO) which makes medical devices, down $5.59. Fourth quarter earnings were higher, $0.72 versus $0.64 last year, but the company cut its earnings estimates for the year 2005, 6 and 7 to reflect an accounting change.

Forest Laboratories (FRX) moved up $2.07. The company is expanding its stock buy back plan from 20 million shares to 30 million shares to be repurchased.

And CKE Restaurants (CKR) had a good day, up $1.75. Third quarter earnings were 10 times what they were last year, $0.20 versus only $0.02 a year ago and that was $0.03 better than the Street estimate.

An initial public offering today, Knoll (KNL), a manufacturer of office furniture and textiles, 11 million shares offered to the public at $15, opened at $16.30. The high of the day $17.14, closed very close to that high.

The NASDAQ 100 (QQQ) topped the active list on NASDAQ, gaining $0.20.
