Fed Ben Bernanke will speech march 20 2012 : Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will give a public speech later Tuesday and is scheduled to testify before a House panel Wednesday on responses to the financial crisis. "If we did get a strong hint from Bernanke--if he were to repeat his earlier criticism, for example, that the Bank of Japan withdrew liquidity too early--the dollar would come under fire," said BNP Paribas FX strategist Rob Ryan.

Public appearances by Federal Reserve officials will be closely scrutinized for clues as to whether the Fed will embark on another round of asset purchases, or decide it is time to rein in liquidity support.

He'll stand before a class of George Washington University undergraduates and give the first of four one-hour lectures on the Fed. at 12:45 p.m. Eastern time. The Fed will maintain the four lectures on its site for later viewing.

Tuesday's lecture focuses on U.S. central banking dating to the panics of the 19th century and early 20th century, which led to the Fed's creation in 1913. The second lecture, on Thursday, involves the central bank's actions after World War II.
