The Economy and Global Markets
Know your markets. Read…stay informed…be a WIP (well informed person).
The Economy
Did you know?
When Interest rates are higher, unemployment is usually lower and inflation is balanced and often times lower.
Thus, High unemployment= low interest rates and higher inflation
Low unemployment= higher interest rates and low inflation
The goal is to increase spending in any economy and increase employment opportunities. Additionally, as GDP increases per capita incomes should increase. However in some economies the per capita incomes remain stagnant as GDP rises. This is indicative of Government Intervention and or Political Discourse.
