One more time?

The U.S. economy continues to show positive and expanding payrolls as we head into the July 24-25 FOMC meeting. Markets now expect that the Fed will raise rates at least “one more time” following this meeting by 25 basis points.

Now that the smoke has cleared (literally) on the East Coast, the debate on whether the Federal Reserve will “stay” (pause and hold the current Fed Funds rate at 5% to 5.25%) or “go” (hike by 25 bps) on J…https://t.co/xyhNOCvM5Y

Following resolution of the debt ceiling debate, I keep thinking about the famous quote by Ben Franklin: “the U.S. will be a democracy as long as we can keep it.” Let’s keep keeping it please!

Markets and the economy are in a conundrum. Assuming that Congress approves the weekend debt ceiling agreement, here are the issues that one must consider…https://t.co/XuWFHQcm8Q

Uneasiness is the feeling that most describes where capital and #agriculture markets are at the moment, despite ongoing positive economic news. Its not a "Gimme Shelter" moment (hit song from The Rolling Stones 1969 Album, Let it Bleed), but nonetheless,…https://t.co/o1hBYSeLPr
