“Keizai Group” believes that QE3 would be the wrong
prescription for the flagging US economic recovery.
An equity research at “Keizai Group” said, “All
QE3 can do is make borrowing cheaper and, frankly, that’s not
going to help the millions of unemployed Americans who need to
work.”
The firm believes that the Fed will hold off announcing a full-bore
round of QE but suggests that President Obama’s address on
Labor Day may allude to a new round of fiscal stimulus designed to
create jobs working on infrastructure projects like roads and
bridges instead.
“The rationale for QE3 is flawed since it can’t make
companies hire workers; all it does is end up in equities and
commodities which only benefits Wall Street,” said an
“Keizai Group” research analyst.
The US Labor Department released data last week which showed that
the US economy created zero new jobs in the month of August against
consensus expectations for a 68,000 gain. The number prompted fresh
fears that the US economy is more likely to re-enter a
recession.
“Keizai Group” believes that neither the Federal
government nor the Federal Reserve is likely to allow this to
happen. “Something will be done; they can’t help
themselves,” remarked the analyst.
