🌷The Tightening Cycle Is Over… Here’s What Happens Next

It's the monthly jobs numbers today and they're not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May.

Good morning. Yesterday, the Bank of Japan opted not to raise interest rates anytime soon. That's a similar outlook to other central banks, which have largely stopped raising interest rates in the past few months. While bankers still talk tough on inflation, their action has helped fuel the market rally of the past few weeks. With the tightening cycle over, investors are already making predictions for where interest rates can go next year. However, it's likely that central bankers won't want to cut yet, with inflation still running hot. Rather, it'll make more sense to hold off – and cut rates aggressively if something starts to break in the economy. Investors and traders can likely see stocks trend higher through the rest of the month. And typically in a Presidential election year, January can be bullish as well. But later in the spring, markets may start to get much more volatile to the downside again.

Today's TOP TIPS Use Acquisition News to Buy Great Companies on Sale Companies are constantly merging with other companies, or selling off divisions to other companies.
