Joanna + 68 JT Posted April 25, 2018 U.S. stocks took steep losses yesterday despite solid corporate earnings reports as rising interest rates spurred uncertainty among investors. The 10-year Treasury yield rose to 3 percent Tuesday for the first time in four years, a threshold that investors generally associate with a fading stock market. This is all too sensitive for my taste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hajga Loma DK + 47 HL Posted April 25, 2018 Investors are bracing for the potential impact of several factors that could suppress the stock market, including Federal Reserve interest rate hikes and trade tensions between the U.S. and China. Rising borrowing costs and higher prices for commodities could take a chunk out of corporate earnings and redirect investments into bonds and other safe harbor assets.

This is all too sensitive for my taste. "Along with interest rates, other costs are rising for companies, with the potential to bite into profits and dampen earnings growth. This earnings season, with double-digit growth, was expected to pump up stock prices and take investors' minds off trade wars and geopolitical concerns. But strong earnings may have opened the door to a new concern — commodities and labor costs are going up along with interest rates." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

valarie + 8 VR Posted May 4, 2018 I think that its the fact they raised the minimum wage. I used to pay a dollar for my prescriptions and now I pay 3. thats 3 times as much from 12-2017 to 4-2018. They raised the minimum wage for the worker by $2 and hour and now the cost of everything has to be 2 to 3 times hirer to cover this? inflation? I just find it plain bad math and economic planning.
