Inhaltsangabe

More than ever, business people and consumers need to know in what direction interest rates are moving.
Forecasting Interest Rates demystifies the subject and shows how domestic and global events move interest rates. It teaches a proven, easy-to-use system for determining rate trends. With this ground-breaking book at your side, you'll now be able to make informed, profitable business and personal investment decisions like never before.
You'll learn how to:
Understand each of the essential factors--including economic, inflationary, monetary, fiscal, global, political, and psychological--that influence interest rates, and how they are globally linked to one another.
Make use of four widely accessible business publications to gather the key information necessary to forecast impending changes.
Analyze the impact of both domestic and foreign events on potential fluctuations.
Set up your own simple, one-page charts that track and assess interest rates and the factors affecting them--on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis.
Determine, with a high degree of accuracy, in which direction the various trends influencing interest rates are likely to push them.
Supplemented by a host of charts, graphs, examples, and illustrations, Forecasting Interest Rates allows you to spot the all-important events that cause interest rates to move--whether they're front-page news or subtle incidents. It shows you how to recognize a reliable interest rate factor from a red herring--whether the source is the Department of Commerce, the Department of Labor Statistics, the Federal Reserve Board, a university research center, or a nonprofit company specializing in business economic research. And, once you've learned the easy charting process, you'll be able to put together the basic information necessary to determine the next upward or downward turn of interest rates--whether you're prognosticating today or five years from now.
You'll begin to see the connections between anti-recessionary measures taken by the Fed and the mortgage rate on houses...the U.S. trade deficit and your business expansion loan...the yen's value against the dollar and your investment portfolio... Forecasting Interest Rates will give you a firm grasp of the causes and effects of interest rate movements. More importantly, it will enable you to play a hands-on role in making crucial financial decisions--for your business, for your clients, and for yourself.
