...Fornelli notes that the improvement came even though a hoard of bad news shook up the markets between last year's summer survey and this year's fall survey. "Unemployment went up significantly, you had problems with AIG and Lehman Brothers, the stock market went down - so the indicators of the economy got worse and yet confidence has leveled off," she says.

...also begin extricating itself from the "dollar trap," in which the country, through its trade, amasses giant surpluses of dollars, which forces it to invest in dollar assets. This is why China, which holds $805 billion in U.S. Treasury securities, is the U.S.'s largest creditor. But this dollar hoard makes China's national wealth vulnerable to the whims of Washington's economic management. One of the reasons Beijing has been urging a gradual reduction in dollar dependence is the massive losses China could suffer if the value of the greenback was to erode as a result of U.S. deficit...
