Fed’s Evans says favors "much more" easing Published October 05, 2010
NEW YORK (Reuters) – The U.S. Federal Reserve should do "much more" monetary easing to spur a sluggish economic recovery, a top Fed official said in an interview published Tuesday.
"In the last several months I’ve stared at our unemployment forecast and come to the conclusion that it’s just not coming down nearly as quickly as it should," Chicago Federal Reserve Bank President Charles Evans told the Wall Street Journal.
"This is a far grimmer forecast than we ought to have," he said, for which reason he favors "much more accommodation than we’ve put in place."
The U.S. unemployment rate in August ticked up to 9.6 percent, and government figures to be released on Friday are expected to show a further increase to 9.7 percent.
Evans, who rotates into a voting position on the Fed’s policy-setting committee next year, stands on the dovish end of the spectrum at the Fed, concerned more with high unemployment than with the threat of inflation.

U.S. Loan Delinquencies Rise for First Time in a Year, ABA Says By Phil Mattingly – Oct 5, 2010 1:00 AM MT
U.S. consumer-loan delinquencies increased for the first time in a year during the second quarter amid a slowdown in recovery from the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, the American Bankers Association said.
Overall delinquencies across eight loan categories rose to 3 percent of all accounts in the second quarter from 2.98 percent in the preceding three-month period, the ABA said in its quarterly Consumer Credit Delinquency Bulletin. Most of the increase was attributable to delinquencies on mobile homes and marine loans, according to the report.
The overall increase came even as credit-card delinquencies dropped to their lowest level since 2001, the Washington-based ABA said.
“The economic momentum over the last few quarters seems to be losing steam,” ABA Chief Economist James Chessen said in a statement. “I think delinquencies will continue to improve but at a slower pace, reflecting a struggling economy.”
U.S. economic growth slowed in the second quarter and the Conference Board reported that confidence among consumers retreated to a five-month low amid concern that a lack of jobs will impede recovery from the 2008 credit crisis. September unemployment will climb to 9.7 percent from 9.6 percent in August, according to the median estimate of 62 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News ahead of an Oct. 8 report from the Labor Department.
