It had nothing to do with it. THIS did.
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) - The U.S. economy still faces considerable challenges, but the most likely outcome is moderate economic growth with subdued inflation, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Monday. "I expect moderate economic growth to continue next year," Bernanke said in remarks to the Economic Club of New York. "Final demand shows signs of strengthening, supported by the broad improvement in financial conditions." However, "significant economic challenges remain," he said. "The flow of credit remains constrained, economic activity weak, and unemployment much too high. Future setbacks are possible." Unfortunately, economic growth probably won't be strong enough to significantly reduce the unemployment rate.
