The rolling over of the growth rate of corporate profits in recent quarters should feed through to a worsening jobs picture by the back half of 2016.

Hence, with today’s report, we continue to believe that this is a Fed that will move at most two times this year, with the potential for no movement at all in policy rates.

That back and forth will be on for another week or so.

While the European economy is doing reasonably well, the ECB isn't going to end the program before September 2016.

I think this Federal Reserve has shown the propensity to be patient and wait longer, but we think there is plenty of impetus for them to move.
