EcoCrops International News Reports on Interest rates and China trade dispute



Over the past ten years, Wall Street became addicted to very easy money.  low-interest rates from the Federal Reserve made investors take more risks by moving into risky stocks.

now that is reversing, for good reasons that the American economy is really strong, and the Federal Reserve is raising the interest rates, making sure the economy doesn't overheat and keeping inflation to a normal level.

Now the tit for tat tariffs and trade war between the United States and China is going to hurt businesses and investments. But the IMF cut its forecasts for the US and China, which won't help first time or jittery investors.

 But on the other hand, the good news  America is minting money right now. Third quarter S&P 500 earnings are projected to rise massively by 20%.
 Strong profits could very well ease Investor worries and anxiety.

When Treasury rates spiked earlier this year the market spooked but Investors seemed to cool down and carry on as normal

EcoCrops International is a forestry investment company and is Head of Operations James Grainger commended that investments in forestry perform well in difficult market conditions.

Is something bad going to happen to the Stock Market

Jeffrey Gundlach the famed American inventor and business mogul believes that the global stock market is signalling 'something bad' is happening. Why would anyone listen? He has the pedigree and experience to make people sit up and listen. Gundlach was formerly the head of the $9.3 billion TCW Total Return Bond Fund, where he finished in the top 2% of all funds invested in intermediate-term bonds for the 10 years that ended prior to his departure. He was fired by TCW in 2009. In 2009, shortly after his firing from TCW, Gundlach founded Doubleline, along with Philip Barach and 14 other members of Gundlach's senior staff from TCW.  Barach was Gundlach's co-manager of the $12 Billion TCW Total Return bond fund.  In a February 2011 cover story, Barron's called him the "King of Bonds." Jeffrey Gundlach is of the opinion that the U.S. stock market will not be able to continue to diverge from global equity markets in the long-term. "I said [before...

A report from McKinsey & Co and Credit Suisse has shown a growing interest in investments that have a positive benefit for the environment.

The report called From Niche to Mainstream: The Building of an Institutional Asset Class showed the rise in number of investors seeking for investments that are sustainable commodities, protect the environment and are lower carbon emissions. The report concludes that over the next five years, the investment opportunity for environmental investments will between $200 billion to $400 billion. These figures represent a major uptick from the current annual private investment of around $10 billion. However, the higher figures that are predicted still fall well short of the amount of investment needed every year in order to protect global ecosystems. This amount is estimated to sit somewhere around the $300 billion mark. High yields are driving this interest, more than the green benefits and the ‘feel-good’ factor of these investments. The report reported that investors are also drawn by the fact that the yields from these natural resources – such as  Forestry and Forestry Prod...
