Too hot or too cold? The world is watching the Fed – MM #183

IS the Fed’s policy hawkish or dovish? We dive into the US economy and the central bank’s policy which impacts global markets and then move to oil prices.

  1. Ahead of the  Fed: The US economy is doing well, well, on most figures. But where is inflation? Is it correlated to wages? While we know the Fed will raise rates in September, the future is wide open. Should they cool down the economy or let it run? We discuss trade, fiscal policy, the mid-term elections and everything in between.
  2. Oil  on the rise: The focus is elsewhere but petrol prices continue rising. We delve into recent IEA, EIA, and OPEC data and try to find the balance between supply and demand in our global tour of oil-producing countries, backwardation, and contango.

Yohay Elam: Founder, Writer and Editor I have been into forex trading for over 5 years, and I share the experience that I have and the knowledge that I've accumulated. After taking a short course about forex. Like many forex traders, I've earned a significant share of my knowledge the hard way. Macroeconomics, the impact of news on the ever-moving currency markets and trading psychology have always fascinated me. Before founding Forex Crunch, I've worked as a programmer in various hi-tech companies. I have a B. Sc. in Computer Science from Ben Gurion University. Given this background, forex software has a relatively bigger share in the posts.
