Portfolio Perspective: Door Open for Yellen to Raise in SeptemberMartin Murenbeeld,邓迪资本市场

Aside from the estimated 2.3 percent annualized expansion during the second quarter, the big news yesterday was在上一个季度美国国内生产总值估计的修订. In short, the economy was weaker than thought in past years, which will comfort FOMC doves, as they were against raising rates too early.

我必须认为,如果联邦储备椅Yellen希望在9月份提高联邦基金利率,则会有很少的反对意见。我假设她要这样做 - 如果没有比零利率别的人不合适,并且增长率约为2%。徒步旅行对经济没有任何重大影响,并将结束对何时,如果美联储将徒步旅行的时间。

Our general outlook at Dundee Capital Markets calls for a 2–2.5 percent growth rate going forward. Nonresidential investment remains in the doldrums. Without a more dynamic consumer — unlikely, as consumers need to save — or more foreign sector demand, nonresidential investment will remain subdued. Net exports will on average subtract from growth for several reasons: the U.S. dollar is too high, foreign growth is weak and oil import replacement will moderate as domestic production stabilizes. After factoring in growth in employment and productivity, the economy’s apparent, speed limit, shall we say, is about 2.5 percent. The public sector could put the pedal to the metal for a period of time with investment in infrastructure, though what is really needed other than infrastructural investment and a lower dollar is a major overhaul of fiscal policy to make the U.S. economic system more efficient.
