  • Three Keys for the Dollar in the Week Ahead

    From marctomarket.com

    There are three things that will command investors' attention in the week ahead. The first, and most important, is whether the global capital markets will continue to move toward stability after the huge drama over the past week or two. The instability appears to have shaken the confidence of some Fed officials and market participants that a September lift-off is the most likely scenario. Our assessment of the technical condition of the market is that the panic is over, some capitulation was seen, and equities, interest rates, and currencies took a big step toward returning to status quo ante in the second half of ...

I think it is still too early for the Fed to raise rates, targets have not been fully achieved and yet there is commentary saying they will go anyway with the rise; the question begs - what is the hurry?

The common sense thing to do is to raise rates...but i'm betting that the FED will continue to be irrational and we won't see a rate rise anytime soon. FED pays too much attention to the stock market now, it is its #1 priority and there is no way they are going to want to be responsible for the next big bear market/stock correction. Print to infinity because it makes us all feel good and happy no one likes seeing things go down only up up up look how its working out for the Chinese.
