| 12:25 EDT | | | WSJ Fedwatcher Hilsenrath Previewed Bernanke's JEC testimony
WSJ Fedwatcher Hilsenrath Previewed Bernanke's JEC testimony in a video journal on the "Real Time Economics" blog, summarized as follows: amid the QE taper debate the Fed would clearly like for the economy to be sufficiently strong to head for the exit, but inflation has been declining and the jobs outlook improving somewhat, which suggests that the Fed is "not there yet." The debate could focus on risk of a stock market bubble, but Bernanke has downplayed that in recent speeches. Housing gains have been important, but that's one of the Fed's primary goals to help restore household balance sheets and improve confidence and spending. As to Ben's successor, Hilsenrath leans toward Yellen and away from Geithner and Summers, who have closer ties to the Obama Administration at an awkward time during recent IRS scandals and the like. |

| 10:55 EDT | | | Today's U.S. reports
Today's U.S. reports revealed a big upside May surprise for Michigan sentiment that included an outsized-pop in the present conditions index, alongside a 0.6% April leading indicators rise that beat assumptions, but that followed downward back-revisions that left the April index at the expected level. Analysts would partly attribute the big sentiment surge to volatility in the preliminary survey, and analysts assume some mean-reversion in the final May survey that trims the hefty May gain in the present conditions measure. Overall, today's upside headline surprises take some of the edge off yesterday's disappointing Philly Fed, initial claims and housing starts headlines. |
