waver just what are traders
concerned about?

14. The U.S. Economy and
Interest Rates

15. The Fed does not want to bring
on another recession so they are
not going to raise rates too
quickly.

16. However, if inflation takes hold it
often takes a couple of years of
higher interest rates to contain
it.

17. So, the Fed is moving cautiously
to stay in the sweet spot
between going too fast and too
slow in raising rates.

18. The first places they are looking
is at the economy and
employment.

19. Despite the protestations from
Mr. Trump that the U.S. economy
is in terrible shape and Mr.
Sanders that most people are
working longer hours for lower
wages the unemployment rate is
at a historic low.

20. The Washington Post looks at
the U.S. economy.

21. not only has the headline
unemployment rate dipped to
4.9 percent, a figure generally
considered consistent with full
employment

22. but also the puzzling downward
trend in labor-force participation
– the share of the working age
population either in a job or
seeking one – appears to have
reversed as well.

23. increased labor force
participation, in turn, reflects an
improving wage picture.

24. though overall wages are
growing at just above 2.2
percent – higher than the rate of
inflation

25. wages for individuals employed
at least 12 months are now
growing at a median annual rate
of 3.2 percent, according to the
federal reserve bank of atlanta.

26. The numbers show that the
economy is on the mend and that
wage inflation is taking hold.

27. Thus the Fed will probably raise
rates soon and do it again shortly
thereafter.

28. Is this why stocks fall when
Yellen speaks?

29. The Cost of Doing
Business

30. After the December Fed rate
hike fortune published an article
reviewing what the Fed’s rate
hike means for small businesses.

31. there are three key measures of
the health of america’s small
businesses that the fed should
consider as it works to steer the
economy forward:

32. interest rates on small business
loans
small business employment
rate of startup activity

33. This thoughtful article helps us
understand the effect of interest
rates on businesses and by
extension stocks.

34. This is why Yellen speaks and
stocks waver.
