SR #1184 – European Markets Drop Fearing US Interest Rate Rise Financial Times Stock Exchange
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
Good morning, I’m still reporting on the economy. Worldwide stock markets are down sharply this morning after Friday’s plunge in New York stocks. In London, the British FTSE – which stands for Financial Times Stock Exchange – plunged 1.5% in the first 5 minutes of trading this morning. According to one British online newspaper that’s a loss of one billion British pounds a minute. The situation in France and Germany is even worse, both markets are down 2% at this hour. However, markets are now relatively flat as the big money overseas waits to see if on the open @ 9:30am. New York will continue Friday’s 2% drop, or rally back. What’s this mini-panic all about? Sudden rumors that the Federal Reserve could raise interest rates at its Sept. meeting next week. A hike in America’s interest rates would mean higher borrowing cost worldwide. The Fed raised interest rates in December with little long-term effect. This broke an unprecedented 8-year decline in interest rates following the 2007 global crash. If interest rates are raised again, it comes at an interesting time in the U.S. political cycle as Wall Street has heavily supported Hillary Clinton and her expensive television ad campaign against her opponent, Donald Trump, but she continues to sink in the polls. Trump is the first candidate to self-fund his primary campaign and not take big donations from the Wall Street banks. Raising interest rates causes a contraction in the U.S. money supply – in other words, less money in the system. That means less money in your pocket. Why? Because higher interest rates mean there is less borrowing and since all our money is created by banks when they make loans, there is less money. If every American understood this one basic fact about the present-day American economy, we would be well down the road to fixing the inherent economic instability. For example, the result of an interest rate rise is that the already teetering U.S. GDP growth could easily tip back into recession - a recession which an incoming President Donald Trump would have to handle. However, the good news is that Trump is better prepared than any president since the creation of the Fed in 1913 to handle such an economic squeeze because he has acknowledged that he can order the Treasury to increase the amount of money in the system at any time to counter the Fed’s control over the quantity of money. Yes, Trump is the first President who may try to negotiate a better deal for the average American by breaking the Fed’s stranglehold over the nation’s economy. I’m still reporting from Washington. Good day. http://www.billstill.com/ https://youtu.be/g0jlOpAm8PE

They should have raised interest rate to 8% years ago.
-
yes to comment below - I trade forex and the manipulation of the country is obvious by the private fed - some believe rates will be raised in November to destroy the country and give that to Trump assuming he wins - if that happens he will be able to deal with it better than anyone else - he definitely being powered by God -

Yellen drop the bomb!

Negative interest rate possibility. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-07-29/fed-preparing-negative-rates-heres-sign-everyone-missed

The corrupt governmental and banking cartels are starting the slow motion collapse.
-
I would not put it past the bankers and Wall Street creating this, on the heels of the rumor that Hillary will drop out, and that they know that Trump will win. However, if it was to happen, remember that it occurred under Obama. When these drops happen, it is the very wealthy whom make a killing off it, and they are the very ones who spread these rumors.

Trump will win and he will flush the illegal FED down the toilet.

"Trump is the first president who may try to negotiate a better deal for the average American by breaking the Fed's stranglehold over the nation's economy."
You knew this all along didn't you Bill? -
I'm not religious .I do trust bill still and brother nathanael. they are christain..the mainstream media is not christain . the main stream media are shills for Israel and they lie.
-
They are NOT, repeat, are NOT going to raise rates. They are going to lower rates and make them go negative just as Europe has and also Japan.
-
And you wonder why the scurrying cockroaches in the establishment are afraid of President Trump?
-
All I can say to the bankers is "don't do it. If you want to exist, don't do it." If you want to be taken out, give it a try. There are a LOT of people who are on to you and are willing to accept the temporary pain of withdrawals from your poisonous system. If you see what you're up against, you will know that you will not win this one. And you will not be able to kill him either. That I can tell you. Trump is a good student of history.
Don't do it. -
That would be epic.

Here is a great paper on how to protect yourself with the War on Cash and negative interest rates thats based on a variation of Gresham's Law.

Awww Bill. Don't pay any attention to the stock market. The Plunge Protection Team (Fed), will just go in and buy enough stock to prop it up - like they've been doing for years.
-
Dow and the other markets are back up significantly at 2:15 pm Central time.
-
Higher interest on the national debt, will sink us.
-
This happens everyday. By this point I am use to turning on the news, and them saying the Dow Fell 300+ points. Just feels normal now.
-
Bill: wouldn't a rate rise by the Fed accelerate the move away from the USD and the resulting loss of the USD as the World's Reserve Currency? Is the Fed that desperate? Are they that out of options by now?
