  • After two more great economic reports this morning, reality should be setting in: the Fed will raise rates in June

    From businessinsider.com

    The Fed is going to raise rates in June. The labor market is rolling, the economy is humming along, and inflation is stable — excluding the decline in gas prices, which Fed chair Janet Yellen has called transitory. On Thursday morning, the latest report on initial jobless claims showed claims totaled 282,000 last week. It was fewer than expected, but still another solid print from our most frequent pulse on the labor market. Following the initial claims figure, the latest flash services PMI number from Markit Economics was a beat, with a reading of 58.6 against expectations for 57.0. (Any reading below 50 indicates ...

LMAO recovery....not everyone is stupid business insider...idiots
FED will never raise rates, more QE before rate hike
"the Fed will raise rates in June"

"The Fed is going to raise rates in June".

I will make a public spectacle of myself on youtube eating my own underpants if the Fed raises rates in June.

Honestly, how the maniacal media come up with such definitive conclusions after Yellens last speech is beyond me.

The Fed is accountable for what it says at official meetings.

The media monkeys swinging from vines and trees while sprouting their post meeting gibberish are not.....
....just another form of market manipulation....I

I agree we will not see a hike for a long time.

The unemployment benchmark that they set many years ago to start hiking was met last year I believe. Since then they have used every reason they could find not to. Now we hinge it on inflation. And we can always fudge that number.
how can they raise rates? the deficit is to big to pay off or inflate away which leaves default as the other option.
If interest is added to this by way of a rates rise the day of reckoning will just come quicker, the strategy to date is clearly to delay this inevitability... the principle being turkeys do not vote for early Christmases.
you can see the last reson for the Fed to not hike is "too strong dollar" slow inflation, oil price low, slow inflation... etc

Very funny! Nothing will happen in June!
There are the market participants that invest money, and then there is this huge horde of journalists who lives on interpretations, predictions etc they produce about these markets. Nobody checks their trackrecord, how often they were right or wrong, they simply produce because thats what they need to do...every day...regardless whether it makes really sense or not...
Well, if they don't raise in June, there's a new reserve currency in the wings, and we all know what that will do to the dollar

Time to buckle up, as US raises rates , the Global Ponzi's gonna come unravelled at an alarming pace !

By 2016 we'll all be trading GBP / Yuan and eating fast food noodles , remembering the good old days when the same restaurant was owned by a (now forgotten) Company called MacDonalds. Driving cars built by The Great Wall car company and loving our Huawi phones.

Anyone questioning what the US will look like without reserve currency status could learn from us Brits..... we all lived like Downton Abbey when we were on the Gold standard and GBP was the worlds reserve...... now we all live in rabbit hutches which we sell to each other for ever more ridiculous prices.

Rates up now methinks or its noodles for all
