Kommen wird der Sache langsam näher??

Reuters-Meldung

"WASHINGTON, July 16 (Reuters) - The U.S. government has not convened its top-level working group on the financial markets to discuss the slide in U.S. stocks and does not try to manage the market's daily moves, the White House said on Tuesday.

The President's Working Group on Financial Markets was created after the 1987 stock market crash to promote close cooperation among the key financial agencies in periods of market volatility.

The group, which includes representatives from the U.S. Treasury, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve Board and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, typically meet when financial markets are disorderly and there are fears that the markets will cease to function properly.

The Bush administration's decision not to convene the group may reflect a view that the recent declines in the stock market to its lowest levels since 1997 are not of that order.

The stock market has fallen steadily over the last week because of a crisis of confidence in corporate America after accounting scandals at companies including bankrupt oil trader Enron Corp. and telecommunications company WorldCom Inc.

The Dow Jones industrial average, which has fallen roughly 7 percent over the last week, was down about 43 points, or half a percent, at 8,595 in afternoon trading on Tuesday.

There were widespread rumors in the European markets on Tuesday that the working group might have met to discuss the slide in U.S. stock prices. Some rumors suggested the U.S. government may have tried to orchestrate Monday's stunning recovery on Wall Street, where stocks made their steepest plunge of the year and then rallied nearly 400 points for the Dow industrials to close down only 45.34 points at 8639.19.

The White House scotched both rumors, saying the working group had not met recently to discuss the market's decline.

"They have not met with particular reference to stock market activity because we don't try to manage stock markets' daily movements," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer told Reuters.

Fleischer said there had been staff-level contacts among the group to discuss ways to improve corporate governance and protect employee pensions, something U.S. President George W. Bush had asked them to do in January, but he said the agency heads that make up the group had not met recently."
