Greenspan Clears First Hurdle in Fed Appointment
Alan Greenspan passed his first test as Reagan's pick to head the Federal Reserve amid a stock market recovery after Volcker announced his resignation. Analysts say Greenspan must broaden support to avoid being labeled a weak successor. The Dow initially slid 15 points but rebounded as traders rotated to other cues. The dollar fell 2.6 percent versus the yen, yet economists note Greenspan’s conservative stance could sustain Volcker's inflation battle while pushing for a balanced budget. Volcker departs after an influential tenure, taking a likely seven figure post elsewhere.
