Bernanke hints at end to quantitative easing: Conall Mac Coille, chief economist of Davy, comments - - " The Euro Stoxx 50 closed up 0.5% while the S&P500 fell 0.8% yesterday. Markets had an especially volatile day as investors struggled to interpret Ben Bernanke’s congressional testimony. The FedFed President placed more emphasis than expected on the likelihood that the $85bn of monthly asset purchases could taper off in the next few months. Similarly, the minutes of the Fed’s last policy meeting showed that several FOMC members thought quantitative easing should be scaled back as early as the June meeting."

...For the liberal daily Dagens Nyheter, the riots are a sign of helplessness on the part of politicians: "Some put the blame on social cuts and the fact that young people have no say in political decision making. However more has been invested in the districts and suburbs in question than in most other areas, and the democratic institutions are roughly the same wherever you go. Everyone has the possibility of getting politically involved, even if that might not be as exciting as masking your face under a street lamp. Nevertheless you've got to be very cynical indeed if you don't also think that 'something has to change, or something has to happen'. These areas are marked by segregation, an over-dependency on social welfare, unemployment and turbulent schools. That leads to a feeling of hopelessness - an excellent breeding ground for violence."

Economic View: An uncomfortable position in the international tax debate; Dermot O'Leary, chief economist of Goodbody comments -- "Irish Government Ministers found themselves in the uncomfortable position yesterday of having to defend Ireland’s corporation tax regime as the issue became the hot political topic in the US. The testimony involving Apple’s Tim Cook was littered with mentions of Ireland’s role in the company’s avoidance of paying US taxes. As we noted yesterday, we do not believe that Ireland is offering tax concessions below the existing 12.5% corporation tax rate to companies."
