How to use raising in a sentence?

1. Jeffrey Gundlach:

   What happens if the next data report that comes out is unchanged or stronger than the previous one, then talk of another hike gets louder, the Fed historically starts something and they continue on with The Fed as long as the situation stays largely similar. If you start raising rates after such a long period of zero-bound rates, it is a different regime.

2. Joseph Gordon-Levitt:

   He's very much an old fashioned gentleman, and an optimist, he's known for raising his hand about the downside of technology, but he's really optimistic about technology in the future and how it can improve democracy.

3. Paul Nolte:

   The U.S. is the cleanest shirt in a dirty laundry. That's why the dollar has been strong and we can talk about raising interest rates, but unless the global economy turns around it's going to be hard for the U.S. to remain that clean.

4. Zhou Xiaochuan:

   As for how it will be similar to global funds, it is somewhat like the World Bank's IFC( International Finance Corp), the African Development Bank's mutual development fund and the China Africa Development Fund, what is different is that those funds are financed by a handful of investors instead of raising funds from the public.

5. Wanda Cooper-Jones:

   Raising you was the honor of my life and I'm very proud of you.
