Economic recovery: Are we there yet?

摘要

Almost two years after the economic meltdown of 2008, the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates near zero and experts expect no change until early 2011. Economic recovery has been slow, but the markets may not wait for the Fed to move rates.rnEconomic uncertainty has been the order of the day since the market crisis of 2008, resulting in interest rates near zero. At the beginning of 2010, the market expected the Federal Reserve to begin its exit strategy by raising interest rates in the second quarter, but those expectations were pushed back due to instability in the financial markets and, to a certain degree, by the sovereign debt crisis in Europe.
