In 2001, tax rebates amounted to 0.6% of disposable
income ($44 billion). Three quarters of the rebates were
spent (i.e. consumption was boosted by roughly 0.5%).
In 2008 rebates will amount to more than 1% of disposable
income. A third has been sent electronically in May.

To sum up
After lowering its policy rate by 225 basis points since January,
the Fed will stay accommodative for many months and will
continue to try to alleviate credit markets’ strains.
Long term interest rates should stay below 4% as long as the
housing market does not give clear signs of stabilization.
If the economic and financial outlook deteriorates significantly, the
Fed will act aggressively again and the Congress will vote a new
stimulus package to try to avoid a protracted stagnation of the
economy. Long term rates would then fall close to 3%.
Against such a backdrop, the stock market perspectives for end of
2008 remain uncertain: 1500 for the SP500 in our reasonably
optimistic scenario, but 1250 in a “L-shaped” one!

To sum up
With high inflation and an economy staying close to
potential, the ECB is likely to stay pat this year.
Long term 10-year interest rates should stay around 4%
until the end of 2008.
If financial distress increases, the ECB might contribute
to global stabilization by adjusting its policy rates.
As in the US, the stock market perspectives for end of
2008 remain uncertain: the MSCI EMU should be close to
250 if growth tracks our reasonably optimistic scenario,
but at 190 with a deeper slowdown.
