Posted on October 23, 2012 by The INO.com Team

Six weeks ago, the Federal Reserve unveiled its latest plan to invigorate the U.S. economy. This week, the Fed will likely send a simple message:

Give that plan time to work.

No major announcements are expected when the Fed's latest two-day policy meeting ends Wednesday. Instead, officials will likely affirm their plan to buy mortgage bonds as long as necessary to make home buying more affordable, keep short-term interest rates at record lows through mid-2015 and take other stimulative steps if hiring doesn't pick up.

Those policies are intended to support an economy that's shown flashes of strength but isn't growing fast enough to create many jobs or to increase Americans' income. The economy grew at a meager 1.3 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter. Continue reading "Fed likely to send wait-and-see signal at meeting" →

Will an OPEC Nation’s Runaway Inflation Spark an Oil Bull Market?

Weekly Gold Report (October 22^nd through October 26^th)

Last week concluded another five days of mixed data that continues the keep everyone guessing. When it comes to the fundamental side of the current market, traders are left scratching their heads fairly regularly. Each week we have to keep in mind that the US FED has made it clear that they will continue to print US Dollars and purchase debt (QE) which should help global markets avoid total disaster. Much of the sharp rally in Gold prices from late September into early October were in anticipation of this announcement. But it should be noted that the FED’s balance sheet is at the lowest level since June 2011 which means the $40B per month in easing has not yet begun.
