2008-01-10 19:34:00 Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke said in a speech Thursday that the central bank is prepared to continue lowering interest rates in order to help keep the economy on track."We stand ready to take substantive additional action as needed to support growth and to provide adequate insurance against downside risks," Bernanke said in prepared remarks before the Women in Housing and Finance and Exchequer Club in Washington, D.C.Stocks, which had been trading lower before the speech, rebounded on the news as Wall Street interpreted Bernanke's comments to mean that there is now an increased likelihood the Fed will lower its key federal funds rate by a half of a percentage point, to 3.75 percent, at the conclusion of its two-day meeting on January 30.To that end, investors are pricing in an 86 percent chance that the Fed will lower rates by a half-point on January 30, according to federal funds futures listed on the Chicago Board of Trade.Tampa Real Estate, Tampa Homes for Sale, Tampa H...
