Prime Rate Hikes - FEDS vs Market Expectations.

Post by MakeMe$$$$ »

According to CNN, the markets says no more in 2016

Some forecasters still predict some increases...at least for now.

So today, 2/5/16, the unemployment data came out with more jobs (less than expected) added and further reduction in unemployment. It also showed an increase in wages. Mostly good news but, of course, the markets seem to react negatively to it.

Is that because this opens the chances of rate hikes or is there some other reason for this?
