The first day of summer was a sunny one on Wall Street, with US stocks posting their best gains in almost a month. However, things quickly turned stormy in today's early trading as investors fear global interest rate hikes will slow economies and weaken demand.

The latter opined that a recession is more likely than not. And US Treasury...

Not to be outdone, the European Central Bank has announced an emergency meeting at which they wi...

Following a miserable Monday that finished with the S&P 500 in bear market territory, all eyes are on the Federal Reserve. Goldman Sachs says they expect a three-quarter percent rate hike at tomorrow's meeting. If that prediction is correct, it would be the biggest one-day hike in borrowing costs since 1994. And that, of course, is going to have a clear impact on consumer activity and market menta...
