Some experts believe that the economy is gotova for higher interest rates. Others, not so much.
On Friday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics data came out that US companies added 215 thousand jobs in July and the unemployment rate dropped to 5.26 percent. And most economists from Wall Street, this is enough for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates for the first time since June 2006.
In its last report, the Federal Reserve said it could begin to increase rates, if you see "some further improvement in the labor market." According to economists, this is exactly what we have and we must expect that the Fed will make its first move to increase interest rates in September.
But keep in mind, the Fed actually has two goals: "maximum employment" and "stable prices."
Stubbornly low CPI and PPI and a worsening wage growth, an indicator of delay of the first uchelichenie Fed think another part of economists.
Overall, however, it seems expected to increase the advantage over waiting in detention now.
"Much of the current inflation is temporary", told Bloomberg TV Monday the deputy chairman of the Fed Stanley Fischer. "This is related to the decrease in oil prices. That has something to do with the decline in commodity prices These are things that will stabilize at some point."
Fortunately, the Fed and everyone else, have little time to FOMC meeting on September 17 when the Fed will make its next update of monetary policy.
"There are five weeks until the next meeting, and nothing is certain," said Don Koon strategist and former member of the Fed
