Interest Rates,Wall Street,Profit Report

Asian shares retreated Friday after strong reports on the U.S. economy raised the possibility of interest rates staying painfully high.

Japan's Nikkei 225 index lost 1.2% to 38,646.11 and the Hang Seng in Hong Kong fell 1.5% to 18,589.89.

One report suggested growth in U.S. business activity is running at its fastest rate in more than two years. S&P Global said its preliminary data showed growth improved for businesses not only in the services sector but also in manufacturing.The Fed is trying to pull off the difficult feat of slowing the economy enough through high rates to get inflation back to 2% but not so much that it forces a painful recession.

Nvidia also increased its dividend as its CEO, Jensen Huang, touted how “the next industrial revolution has begun.” A high-yield TSX dividend stock is a buying opportunity for long-term investors. The post 1 Magnificent TSX Dividend Stock Down 9% to Buy and Hold Forever appeared first on The Motley Fool Canada.The Bank of Canada may dash hopes of a June interest rate cut and instead move in July, which will give it seven more weeks of key data to confirm the recent trend of a slowing economy and continued easing of inflation, some economists said.
