Enough of free liquidity... and free stimulus.... admit finally, if Ur economies have recovered too fast and many places pre Covid levels, then why D need for benefits, privileges, cash stimulus and easy liquidity,... why not interest rates hardening be put in place now? And if everything is not right, then why fear jacking up of interest rates... I fail to understand all these fake rallies based on liquidity by Central banks all over.. and ignorance of the actual positions in this pandemic... grow up
Yeah, it looks a comment from someone well underwater. INIT?
I don't understand it either. if prices are rising then that means more profit. so whats the big concern about a 0.25% increase in rates? its just market manipulators seeing a chance to sell short and buy back cheaper. no matter what Powell said they would've sold anyway
amazing hiw most of people here see onky tip of their own nose. u gonba wake up in big sht world one day gready blind people
