I will be on BNN with presenter Howard Green at 12:15ET. Howard will also be talking to Philip Coggan, Capital Markets editor at the Economist. In terms of topics, we’ll cover the markets, commodities, and gold on the rise again today, as well as the economy in general. I understand NY Fed president William Dudley has made some comments that America is in the midst of a “tepid recovery” that is “wholly unsatisfactory” and says more monetary stimulus is likely warranted. Given my comments in the last post about Fed policy, this will be an interesting question.
