This book highlights how to interpret and predict the actions and reactions of the Fed — enabling readers to gain an inside view of the key factors affecting US interest rates and with them the prospects for the US dollar. This book provides guidance in the form of a well proven set of guidelines to follow for Fed-watchers seeking to gain a serious insight into the workings of the Fed.
