So when will rates rise?
Ms Yellen is going to be in no rush. As I mentioned last week, Janet had decided to ditch patience as a descriptive term, but her equally cosy and cuddly terms have still meant that she is not going to be bullied or rushed into forcing a rate move. The market last week had pencilled in June as a probable date but even since those few days it would seem that it has already slipped back to September.
One of the areas of concern that gets less coverage is not just the effect on the US economy but rather those other nations around the world with borrowings denominated in US$. Now these have already been affected by the rising Dollar especially against many weaker emerging market currencies and further pressure with a rate rise will only exacerbate this.
