Fed chairman in testimony before Congress said the economic outlook was “unusually uncertain” and that the Fed was prepared to take additional action if needed. But Bernanke did seem concerned about draining liquidity as opposed to providing further stimulus, which gave his speech while dovish on the economy a hawkish feel in terms of monetary policy. Risk aversion jumped as US stocks fell, helping to boost the Dollar against higher-yielders like the Canadian and Australian Dollars.
