Question

I need to write a blog post on a current event new article in the United States that pertains to Macroeconomics, could someone please point me in the right direction

Answer 1

You can write about the recent increase in the interest rates by the FED. This was the last meeting attended by the chair Janet Yellen. Now the Fed will have a new Chairman. And you can write about the recent legislation to cut taxes for the corporates.

Points on which you can write:

• This is just the fifth time after the Subprime crisis when the FED has increased the rates. And it looks set for another three rates increases in the year 2018.
• How is this going to affect the economy US and the World?
• Are the green shoots visible in the US economy as the FED predicted?
• How is the Tax cut legislation going to affect this decision of the FED and will they continue with the rate hike in the future as they have promised.
• FED claimed that the tax cut legislation will have a moderate effect on the economy, What else can they do to further support the employment and demand? How does the rate increase go with that?
• Fed has increased rates and the Congress is looking for a tax cut aren't they moving in two opposite direction.
• How are these tow decisions going to affect the inflation (this has remained persistently low) and the labor market (started showing growth recently)
• FED predicted the inflation will not rise but the growth will be better than predicted. How can we see growth without an increase in inflation? Aren't this contradicting?
• What is the task the new FED chairman has for him keeping the money market stable and prevent any formation of bubble or increase employment and support Congress.

If you are able to cover all these points it will be an amazing blog.Good luck.
