FILE - In this Sept. 30, 2010 file photo, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington. The last time the Federal Reserve came up with a big plan to help the economy, it totaled $600 billion and touched off a 28 percent rally in the stock market. But if the Fed takes any new steps, as many people expect, it wont look anything like that. Look for small ball, not a home run. Operation Twist, as Fed-watchers are already calling it, in a nod to economic history, probably will help the economy and the stock market. (AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta, File) (AP)

The U.S. Federal Reserve is holding their annual Jackson Hole Economic Symposium with visiting bankers from around the globe meeting with Federal Reserve officials, academics and other financial experts. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Friday said prospects for a return to global economic growth looked good "in the near term," the clearest signal yet the world's most powerful central banker thinks a recovery is at hand.
