When Will The Fed Raise Rates? - Here's an idea

I am certain that Fed will not increase rate in June. USD is at all time high and every central bank around the world is reducing their rates. Raising US rate would make dollar even stronger and that will be a disaster for the stock market. And as the article says you raise interest rates to protect against inflation but where is the inflation?
Oil prices are low now and will remain low for foreseeable future. So inflation from commodity prices is not in cards. Employment picture is improving but wages are not increasing to a level where employees can switch jobs every 6 months for better pay like in old time.
Most likely there will be no rate increase this year.
