FED unlikely to raise rates for two to three years

Pacific Investment Management Co.’s Bill Gross said the Federal Reserve is unlikely to raise interest rates for two to three years.

Gross, Pimco’s founder and co-chief investment officer, made the comments in a radio interview today with Tom Keene on Bloomberg Surveillance. A yield of 0.50 percent on two-year Treasury notes signals that investors should buy longer-maturity securities, he said.

Companies in the U.S. added workers in July for a seventh straight month at a pace that suggests the labor-market recovery will be slow to take hold.
