By Guy Baker

 

Predictions 
 

  • S&P � 2200 � optimism with a divided government. No new taxes and few regulations give business confidence to move forward
     

  • Europe � will remain in turmoil.  High taxes, weak Euro, low oil prices and their new QE program.
     

  • China � while growth will continue to decline � it will still be above 6%
     

  • Japan � rebounding from their recent recession will help global growth
     

  • Commodities � oil, gold, silver all trending downward.
     

  • Disinflation � no sign of inflation in 2015 unless Oil rebounds significantly
     

  • Interest Rates � likely to see increases in mid 2015. 2-3% range
     

  • Dollar � continues to strengthen and bring investment capital from abroad.
