Weekly Market Outlook September 18, 2016

Weekly Market Outlook:
Pfäffikon SZ, Switzerland – Again, the U.S. retail sales were disappointing last week. Investors focus on the upcoming interest rate decision of the Fed. However, whether the Fed raises interest rates or not, the current market environment outputs dangerous signals. The 0% interest rate policy of the Fed has created an artificial bubble in the markets. Additionally, the policies of central banks worldwide have not contributed in any way to sustainable growth.

For investors, the coming week will be about the Fed’s upcoming interest rate decision.
