Company: Moody’s Investors Service
During the last FOMC meeting, the committee observed some notable changes in the economic and the financial situation. Economic activity continued to expand at a moderate pace. The main aspects of the subject meeting are:

Unemployment rate, which is widely considered as a good economic indicator of labor market has edged down to 5.8% in October and stayed stable in November. Furthermore, this is supported by the fact that the employment-to-population ratio rose slightly. The increase in private sector job openings, decrease in part-time workers and increase in hiring rates further provide concrete evidence that labor markets has improved considerably.
Inflation: The declining energy prices has a huge impact of the domestic as well as global economic situation. Even-though the inflation targets of the committee aren’t met, the inflation has improved slightly as the overall consumer

In-appropriate and untimely investments can result in huge losses to the investors. Moody’s potential customers can be those who require economic region assessment. Such customers can be up-coming companies looking for global expansion. For example, Under Armour has been performing well in the North America. However, it has limited global presence resulting in 95% of its revenues from North America1. Moody’s can attract such customers and provide economic evaluation of the regions. This can help companies allocate their budget rationally in their future ventures. This can be easily tracked by observing the global markets and central bank policies of various economies. Moody’s can form strategic relationships with leading banks and credit societies. Such tie-ups can bring in customers who seek credit from these banks to Moody’s for risk

A key to victory this November is the unemployment rate. According to a Bloomberg National Poll conducted in March 8-11, 42% of Americans consider unemployment and jobs as “the most important issue facing the country right now” (Priorities). Although there has been 24 consecutive months of private sector employment growth, the Federal Reserve suggests that the numbers could fade in the coming months. The importance of creating more jobs cannot be stressed enough. No President in the recent era has been reelected with the unemployment rate above 7.2% (Roth). To paint a picture, in late 1982, the unemployment rate topped 10.8 under Ronald Reagan. However, about 36 months later, the rate dropped to 7.2% percent. The drastic drop in the n...

Another key cause to the price inflation issue is the extended period of bitterly cold weather that loomed in the northern and midwestern parts of the U.S. throughout the winter months. This led to an “increased demand in home heating oil, which is widely used in the region and is virtually identical to diesel fuel” (Lang1). This increased demand for fuel coupled with the restrictions on exported oil allowed OPEC to jack up their prices an exorbitant amount in a relatively short period of time.
