  • Top Fed official: “The case for raising rates looks pretty strong.”

    From washingtonpost.com

    The Federal Reserve took a historic step at the end of last year when it raised interest rates for the first time since the 2008 financial crisis took down the U.S. economy. The move was intended to signal the central bank's confidence in the progress of the nation's recovery, but since then, its faith has been tested. A slowdown in the broader global economy and turmoil in financial markets have kept the Fed from moving again, and investors are overwhelmingly betting that the central bank will stay its hand once more when it meets in June. But Jeffrey Lacker, president of the Federal Reserve of Richmond, says there ... (full story)

Stop bloody manipulating prices.
If the rates need to be raised then raise at the FOMC meeting.
Stop giving bullshit talk to bloody move prices now.

Exact no one may belive in a single words from Fed officials, anybody know that they don't raise rate in june for fears of brexit and then in september for US election, maybe iin december or later. This IF not came back recession during this wait

The Presidential elections are in November, not September! So in other words if they are going to raise rates it will either be in June or shortly after. Presidential elections won't really have any influence either way. Obola is out the door!

Inflation has not reached 2%. Should they not wait till they see evidence of consistain inflation over 2% for proof? Why do the Feds keep manipulating the currency? Deflation is worst than inflation so raising rates before proving inflation should be the risk since the rest of the large economies of the world struggles to get inflated. The market is not over heated due to demands. The world has an over supply problem.

I agree. Any chance Trump could be elected will create chaos in markets.

I know that election are in november but the key date that fed's members say was if not june for sure in september, but i not belive too much in this date. June was off table for the uncertainly referendum outcome, then remain for december, ok maybe, for 1 hike this year, but two hike it's pretty unlike. Logic it's only my personal opinion.
Oh yeah ... rofl ... good joke though ... made my day ...

For me, what counts is the fact that he is so hated by the people in control of the fed/the country so I think maybe December they will attack. It is not my opinion; it is an opinion of people I respect for their ability to see ahead and their successful predictions of important turning points in the past. They have not said "December" but logically as cecchino says... it is the date that could be used.

The feds will raise rates. <.50% to 50% or higher this year before the election and new policies by the new president. The feds are either going to raise to attract investors or they are going to hold and join the global economy. That means the price of gold will either drop or go way up. If people fear doom in economy, they will pull their physical gold from vaults. Except banks don't have enough physical gold to back up the paper gold, especially if it goes up to historic highs. We would have another 1968 scenario. That is why central banks have been buying gold since 2009; to cover up a default.
Traders should look forward the market only
not the Fed.
no rate hike, bulshit
no rate hike, US gov will shutdown for 14 days,, heheh
