Fed's Yellen still sees only 'gradual' rate hikes
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen
Washington - Muslimchronicle
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen said Wednesday she still foresees only "gradual" interest rate increases, as the US economy grows stronger and employment expands.
But question marks remain about how the economic outlook will play out, and possible changes in spending and other policies by President Donald Trump's administration are one "source of uncertainty," Yellen said in her semi-annual testimony to Congress.
Another big question is whether inflation will finally move closer to the Fed's two percent target rate, from the current 1.4 percent.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
