| 06:38 EDT |  | | Private equity faces shakeout, Bloomberg reports
Private equity has some 4,500 firms with $3 trillion in assets, and now it's bracing for a shakeout that’s been building since the collapse of credit markets choked off a record leveraged-buyout binge, reports Bloomberg. Firms that attracted an $702B from investors from 2006 to 2008 must replenish their coffers for future deals and avoid a reduction in fee income when the investment periods on those older funds run out, typically after five years. Up to 708 firms face such deadlines through 2015, according to London-based researcher Preqin Ltd. Reference Link |

| 05:25 EDT | | | FX Action: USD-JPY is well supported
FX Action: USD-JPY is well supported amid the Fed policy statement. Heavy dollar demand went through from the European open, which fueled a move up from 97.00 up to the 98.30 region. Macro funds were standout buyers, which triggered a break above the base of the Ichimoku cloud at 97.67, where technical fund buy orders were noted. There were Japanese orders over 98.00 from the usual commercial sources, along with exporter hedging. However, dip buying is evident back into 97.70-80 and impetus from both a fundamental and technical perspective is with the topside. Several London deal desks are now looking for a near-term move back into the 100.00 region. |

Bernanke on inflation: he echoed the policy statement that longer term inflation readings remain stable, but said there are some transitory factors that are keeping near term rates subdued. The Fed isn't taking anything for granted, he said, and added policymakers are carefully monitoring inflation data. He acknowledged that TIPS rates have come down but remain within historical norms. The Fed is trying to ensure both that inflation doesn't come in too high, or too low. |
