Optimal Financial Management - US Market and Economic Update 27th January 2015
As the Federal Reserve prepares to meet for the first time in 2015 for its 2 day session, New York deals with what could be the worst storm on record.
The blizzard may close down the city but it will not stop earnings being reported and this week we will hear from the likes of Microsoft, Apple and Google. There have been 96 earnings reports so far and of these 66 companies have exceeded forecasts, 18 have come under and 12 managed to hit their target.
The S&P 500 has barely gained since the beginning of the year and no doubt the inclement weather they are experiencing in the north of the continent may have an impact on the markets as it did last year. Although the bourses may only be closed for a day it is bound to have an effect on some markets and the dollar had already given up some ground against the Euro, pausing at $1.124 yesterday after concerns over the Greek vote did little to the European markets.
The Dollar has gained 11% in just 3 months and this may play into the hands of those at the Fed who would look to hold off on increasing rates in the middle of the year. They are already citing weak global growth as a possible reason to delay the rate increase and the possibility of a start to the year like 2014, with the weather basically stopping the country, could have an impact on their productivity, manufacturing and growth.
