In the currency market, the dollar edged lower against the euro. Late Monday, the euro was trading at $1.275 vs. $1.2712 on Friday. China’s state-run news agency, Xinhua, said that the government’s stimulus program will “will loosen credit conditions, cut taxes and embark on a massive infrastructure spending program in a wide-ranging effort to offset adverse global economic conditions by boosting domestic demand.”

Actions taken by the Federal Reserve to calm financial markets and ease the housing crisis are working, a US government official claims.
“Markets appear to be gaining confidence and the availability of credit has improved modestly,” Clay Lowery, the Treasury’s assistant secretary for international affairs, told Bloomberg. More from that story:
The Fed’s interest-rate cuts and a government economic stimulus package have helped to ease market turmoil and support consumer spending, [Lowery] said.
