So what if one or a bunch of such questions might be in order for after the Fed's actions tomorrow. Call them 2016 what ifs.
What if next year inflation returns faster and higher than anyone suspects? A long, long shot you say given the current global picture with bottom-searing energy prices, China and all the rest. True, it's a long shot viewed through today's lenses. But what if?
What if the Fed is forced out of its analysis-paralysis straight jacket of these past several years and forced to hike rates several times separated by very short intervals? There are a few what if here. Read both articles to find out more.
What if that doesn't happen and the Fed follows an orderly rate hike pattern as the economy returns to so-called normal? Again, read both articles to learn more.
What if as some are suggesting and Fed Chair Yellen recently offered it will be good to get a rate hike under the belt to show the economy is doing well turns out to be wrong?
