One of the big questions on Wall Street: When will the Federal Reserve start cutting interest rates. Fed leadership continues to keep an open mind as economic headwinds also continue to develop. The New York Times Columnist Paul Krugman joins Yahoo Finance to give insight into the Fed’s potential decisions and why he feels its time for the central bank to start cutting rates.

So when I think of how to allocate portfolios right now, this isn’t the moment in time that we’re […]
December’s jobs report came in hotter than expected with the US adding 216,000 jobs, topping estimates of 175,000. While good news for some, this makes the Federal Reserve’s job a bit more difficult in terms of slowing the economy down to rein in inflation. Eugenio Alemán, Raymond James Chief Economist, joins Yahoo Finance to give insight into the jobs report data and how this will affect the Fed’s policy decisions going forward. Aelmán explains : “The jobs market is still very strong. That creates issues for the Fed because it is always the case that the job market could potentially remain too strong for inflation going forward. For now, the […]
