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... |

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

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
deficite on external commerce, etc

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? |
