No big surprises in Bernanke's much-anticipated speech: The Fed's next step will depend on economic data; inflation is too low but will remain such; high unemployment is cyclical, not structural; the economy should grow more quickly in 2011. Buyers are bidding up stock futures for now, with S&P +0.3% to 1177.50.
