some of the fed speak in language we can all digest. i know this is your beat. tell me, we're awaiting this statement. what will you be listening for? >> what we know is we have seen the statement. we know there's no change in the amount of bonds the fed is going to keep buying, that stimulus into the economy. no change in its interest rate target. really i would say overall no change from the fed right now. and that is what so many people wanted to know. will the fed chief, will ben bernanke, continue to stimulate the economy. they're putting $85 billion every single month right into the economy by making these bond purchases. what we can tell you, the statement from the fed, that's going to stay the same. they are not announcing how, when, why, if and how much they're going to pull back on that. at least just not right now. >> i was listening in. we're all listening sort of for the two "t" words. tapering and tightening. hang tight, christine. let me bring in cnn's global economics analyst at "time" magazine. assistant managing editor.
