What you cunts don’t realise is the Geo-Political aspect of it.

>dollar wrecking ball
The US could keep interest rates high for years, this will destroy every other currency before it hurts America. If their number one priority is maintaining US Dollar hegemony and keeping their Empire intact, this is what they’ll do.

>Zombie Corps and Boomer McMansions
Alternatively, if they don’t slash rates hard and fast very soon they’ll have to deal with half the companies in the S&P going bankrupt because they can’t service their debt. Also all the markets (RE, Equities etc) will crash because keeping rates high will cause a severe recession.

So the choice is binary, crash the economy to save the empire. Or, save the markets and destroy the empire.

I don’t know which one they’ll go with but I suspect they’ll keep rates high (to notionally fight inflation but really to harm every other currency) while at the same time do QE to keep Wall Street happy.
