Monetary Easing in the works for the United States?

Over the last couple of days, the United States has released economic data showing the economy is continuing to grow. On Friday, the Non-Farm Payroll stated 227,000 jobs were created in February. Today, the Commerce Department released data that showed a 5-month record high gain in retail sales for February.

Upon this data, the US Dollar gained against the yen and reached an 11-month high. The US Dollar also gained against the euro, hitting a one-month high. Although the US economy appears to be doing better than expected, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke announced no changes would be made to current monetary policies.
