When interest rates finally go up, don’t expect them to skyrocket. David Kelly, chief global strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds, joins us with more. Plus, undocumented workers in the Dominican Republic face a deadline today to register with the government or possibly face deportation. Eduardo A. Gamarra, a political science professor at Florida International University, gives us some context on the situation. And with Fitbit’s upcoming IPO, we look at the economic durability of the wearable market as the Applewatch joins the race.
