Economic/Financial HELP!!!!

I need to write a brief essay (about 1 page) answering the following:

What is the likelihood of the Fed raising rates this summer. You need to discuss specific economic conditions that would lead to this rate increase.


Can anybody help me out? I dont need anything too sophisticated just a couple of to-the-point answers...

bad dollar
yoyo trade market creating an unstable economy ( the last couple weeks have been terrible )
low consumer confidence
terrible economic growth ( 2.2% or something is the latest figure )

etc etc


read the financial times, new york time etc you'll get your answers in a snap

weak dollar which has been on a continuous decline versus the euro while the yuan is in serious need of reevaluation and after the recent asian crash, stock markets around the world are still shaking ... will it stabilize?
I pray it does or things are going to crash and burn pretty badly

yeah 1 page... is not a freakin' research paper... its just a short-essay that says if I think the rates will increase, why or why not.

Isnt the fact that the US going through a slowdown in the economy (almost getting to the point of recesion) a reason why they SHOULD NOT raise interest rates? if they do, they will just decrease spending and slow down the economy even more wont they?

yes but it will also make people start to live within their means instead of above.

Ok... after researching in various financial articles, I am leaning more towards the conclusion that the Fed will NOT raise rates anytime soon. Primarily, the American economy as a whole is very slow. therefore, raising rates will only worsen the problem. Second, unemployment rates are likley to continue to raise, also causing rates to stay down. Third, inflation seems to be very well under control, leaving no need to hike up interest rates...

What so you guys think? Agree? Disagree? Other factos I might have missed?

do your own study you lazy ignorant shit.

I didn't ask for your advice. Besides, why the fuck would I take advice from a retard who can't even spell 'memoriSe'? So, allow me to repeat myself, take your advice and Go fuck yourself. If you don't have anything positive to input into a discussion, then stay the hell out of it you pretentious little shit.

Jesus Christ i dont understand what the big deal is. Would it make it any better if it were a ten page report? because you can imagine it is if it will help. And again, its not like i want anybody to do the report for me. I was simply asking (for people who know about this and are willling to share any USEFUL information) what people think interest rates will do in the following months. As simple as that

Oh no, everyone panic. We've got a pissed off economics student.

Given the current situation, the likelihood of the Fed raising rates this summer is 43%.

If global warming doesn't reverse its process, the Fed might actually have to lower the rates to -5%, to balance the 5^o rise in the temperature.

If Michael Jackson and Richard Gere decide to trade religions, the Fed might actually raise the rates more than previously expected, due to the fear of a Buddhist Michael Jackson and the annoyance of a Muslim Richard Gere.

If 3 of the 300 Spartans die and the American government is found guilty, the Fed might cancel the rates and trade all their money for swords.
