The clock is ticking towards September 17th, when the US Federal Reserve will announce if it raises the interest rates for the first time since 2006 or not. Will the Fed lean towards economists and hike because of improving employment and improving domestic conditions in general? Or will Yellen and co. follow market signals and leave policy unchanged due to weak inflation and a general global slowdown?
What is the background? What is going on right now? What are analysts saying? How will this affect the value of US dollar and other currencies? This round up will be updated with each new article related to this massive topic, towards the event, in real time and in the aftermath:
