Bernanke Rings the Forex Market Bell

The Chairman of the US Federal Reserve Bank, Ben Bernanke, rings the forex market bell at a speech he made yesterday by satellite TV to an economic conference in Barcelona Spain. Helicopter Ben finally spoke out about the sad condition of the US Dollar and said the following:

We are attentive to the implications of changes in the value of the dollar for inflation and inflation expectations and will continue to formulate policy to guard against risks to both parts of our dual mandate, including the risk of erosion in longer-term inflation expectations.
