Greenspan sees growth and low unemployment as extraordinary
Greenspan noted inflation had declined this year and described growth with low joblessness as extraordinary. He said price pressures are moderating, with no immediate need to tighten policy, though Fed would act if inflation accelerates. Wall Street inched higher as markets shrugged off the leak about a March tilt toward higher rates. Jobless demand and Asian turmoil frame the outlook, with cautions that labor demand must meet sustainable supply to avoid policy tightening.
