Yellen, in speech Friday, could send signal about next hike
WASHINGTON (AP) — The job market is humming, and so are the U.S. financial markets, with major stock indexes near record highs.
All that would normally trigger a green light for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. Yet the Fed, still casting a wary eye on the economy, has yet to signal that it will resume raising rates soon.
That signal, though, could come as soon as Friday, when Fed Chair Janet Yellen will address the annual meeting of the world’s central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

The cost of raising an Olympic athlete in CanadaTORONTO – Cheryl Simundson can still vividly recall the time her daughter, two-time Olympic bobsled champion Kaillie Humphries, stood on a chair during a family dinner more than 20 years ago and announced her plans to win gold for Canada.
“OK,” Simundson said she told the seven-year-old at the time, before telling her to sit down and finish dinner.
The Calgary mom knew she would support her kids in any endeavour they chose, and for Humphries that would now mean a long journey of emotional — and financial — help.
“Raising an Olympian,” said Simundson, “(there) never is an end to it.”
With another Olympic Games over, many young Canadians may now feel the drive to embrace a sport and work their way onto the podium.

HOLLAND, Mich. – The state with a history of manufacturing motors and Motown music is making more room for mustard.
The Holland Sentinel reported (http://bit.ly/2bjAWUg ) Thursday that the Kraft Heinz Co. plant in the western Michigan city of Holland is expected to be the home of all Grey Poupon production in about a month. The plant also plans to expand production of yellow mustard.
The moves come amid a $17.2 million investment in the longtime Holland plant and addition of 50 employees. The expansion follows November’s announcement that the company would be closing seven plants in the U.S. and Canada and eliminating 2,600 jobs — about 14 per cent of its North American factory workforce.
The company, based in Chicago and Pittsburgh, was formed from the merger of Kraft and Heinz last year.
