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

Accordingly, you might want to use other types of Cyber currency wallets.  Otherwise, you should choose such services very carefully. Additionally, using two-factor authentication is recommended.
