Easy money has been floating around for quite a while...
We are all quite familiar with near zero interest rate.

It has caused a world-wide rise in property prices in almost all major cities. And some people here believe this myth..and they attribute it to the PAP and the strong government that make the property owners here prosperous.

The low interest environment has made it less attractive to save but instead to keep on borrowing and spending. Many borrowed to buy houses and more borrowed to buy more houses and hence the property boom worldwide. On the same note low interest rates kept our saving level low. And the value of thrift is somewhat muddled.

Ms Yellen , at this Friday FOMC should just do it..raise the rate and let the market suffer the pain.
She should not pass the pain and mess to the next generation to shoulder.

Ms Yellen should gesture and send this signal.
 
Alot of property owners in singapore are overleveraged. I guess we are stepping into interesting times because there are quite a number of buyers who have never seen interest rates exceeding 3%. Some of those burnt in the past have seen sibor at 8.5% during 1998. Alot of PRs thought that interest rates in singapore has been hovering at 1%. I guess they will be in for a surprise and pap cannot do much to contain it. :*::*:

Hoping that interest will hit 4% very soon.
 
The people/institutions who borrow a lot of money will be screwed by an interest rate hike.
 
Yah, when the stock market goes down, its buy buy buy.

Care..when FOMC hike rate...stocks will swing up as this remove market uncertainty and they believe
the next hike will be very far off. Hence, they will buy.
 
even no hike rate, market will still die if economy not good.

so may rather hike the interest rate.
 
heard from 958.

hike rate or remain status quo.

both also pain. 长痛还是短痛? agree??
