Census 2010
continued from page 54 pressures come to the surface. The wildcard is that when interest rates inevitably and finally do rise, how will the markets react to that situation? Maybe the markets already understand that higher interest rates will be a part of the economic formula but if there is a string of interest rate increases (ala 1994) then that may hamper the markets. The first scheduled meeting for CY2010 was on January 26-27 at which the interest rates were left unchanged and on February 18, 2010, the Fed raised the “Discount Rate” to 0.75 percent - the Fed indicated that this was merely to reverse one of the ‘extreme measures’ taken at the height of the financial crisis and the move was not signaling a long trend. Interest rates were also kept unchanged at the March 16 meeting and the remaining six meetings for CY2010 are scheduled for: 1) April 27-28, 2) June 22-23, 3) August 10, 4) September 21, 5) November 2-3 and 6) December 14 Special Note: This article contains the ideas and thoughts of its author and it does not necessarily imply the viewpoints of Saathee magazine, this website or its principals.
