Bernanke: Fed will keep eye on sliding dollar

Blog Editor’s Note: More like an “all seeing eye” pretending to be blind.

He made clear Fed policymakers will keep rates at super-low levels. Yet through his words, Bernanke is also trying to bolster confidence in the dollar without actually raising rates, a move that could short-circuit the fragile recovery.

Economists say a free-fall in the value of the dollar is remote but can’t be entirely dismissed.
