Fed to Raise Rates in 2016 Amid Weak Economic Data: Economist
It's a big week for the markets as the major banks including Goldman Sachs (GS), Wells Fargo (WFC) and JPMorgan (JPM) report financial results.
It's a big week for the markets as the major banks, including Goldman Sachs (GS), Wells Fargo (WFC) and JPMorgan (JPM) report financial results, as first quarter earnings season heats up. But investors are also keeping an eye out for March’s consumer price index, released Friday. Analysts expect the CPI to rise 0.2%, far from the Federal Reserve's 2% target.
