Summary
Federal Reserve Vice Chairman Richard Clarida says the central bank won’t consider raising interest rates from near zero until it actually achieves 2% inflation as well as full employment. Mike Schumacher, Wells Fargo Securities Head of Rate Strategy, says yields could drop dramatically if the U.S. election results are delayed. Victoria Fernandez, Crossmark Global Investments Chief Market Strategist, says free cash flow and management are important evaluations to see if a company can withstand the volatility anticipated in the coming quarter. Andrew Hollenhorst, Citigroup Global Markets Chief U.S. Economist, says political gridlock has delayed more fiscal stimulus action despite the Fed and both political parties believing it to be necessary.
