Fed Pause Will Come From Credit & Currency Markets, Crisis Management

"Jobs are a lagging indicator of the U.S. economy. With the recent cuts in the jobs openings and continuous announcing of layoffs by companies or at minimum, hiring freezes, one should take notice of where the economic puck is going and not where it is. A Federal Reserve pause will come from credit markets, currency markets, and crisis management. I prefer value companies over growth. Investors should look for predictive cashflows and companies that pay dividends," says Matt Lloyd.
