The sort of ignorance it takes to link this to Ukraine is baffling. Inflation has been heating up since covid and the US had committed to interest rate increases late last year:

I just tire for my people o
Their initial plan they had was even to raise interest rate by 50basis point (0.5%).
However due to the invasion of Ukraine according to Powell during the previous Senate hearing he said 0.25% increase will do for every meeting.

West e-rats how market...

The bullies thought they could come up against the one standing up against them (the bullies) not knowing it will blow back in their face.

Anyone supporting the west is not only an hypocrite but also a simpleton.

Invasion of a sovereign nation isn't right but if a sovereign nation will put the security of another sovereign nation in jeopardy then it's only right for the sovereign nation whose safety is in jeopardy to raise concerns.

Kremlin's only concer is that NATO should steer clear close to her nation but no.. the stupid west think they can just do anyhow without repercussions.



Thanks for your concern but I will rather be an illiterate than an educate illiterate.

Most people on Nairaland are educated illiterates including Seun Osewa and his mods.

The main issue!


Most Nigerians don't know that Emefiele and his Fulani gangsters copied the dubious method of printing money during inflation ( out of thin air: Obaseki) from the US.

The US dollar is not backed up by gold or anything.
It is backed up by brawn, war and debts on enslaved countries; chiefly Africa.

Any economist will tell you that with time, the world will have to run away ( or have alternative currency reserves) from the US dollar as a reserve currency, in order for sanity to prevail in world economy and safety.

The elites in America know that American creativity ( not destructivity) has been on a steady decline.
They don't produce consumer goods much, compared to the 50s. They depend on producing weapons used to kill people, and debts being used to enslave....us Africans.
Just like UK, like France, like Italy.

The workshop of the world is arguably China.
If you produce for the whole world, but your currency is still weak, give it 50 years, you might end up being the reserve currency of the world.

China is playing a long term 100 years game, Amerikkka is playing a death game; a slow but constant one.

Stop saying printing money. It’s called Quantitative easing cool

Prison= correctional facility
Invasion= regime change
Ministry of war= ministry of defence
Clever by half= foolish

You black people still don't understand: the white man uses words to conceal his true nature, or intention or nature of things .

Printing money out of thin air is the true picture of what is happening.
In order to deceive the masses, the elites call it Quantitative easing!

Re: U.S Increases Interest Rates, Signals Aggressive Battle Against Inflation by Landargas: 9:38am On Mar 17, 2022
If interest rates rise, it can make borrowing more expensive - especially for homeowners with mortgages - but it can also give savers a better return. If interest rates go up, it is intended to encourage High Street banks to put up the interest rates they charge individuals and businesses. Higher interest rates mean people receive a better return on their savings, which should encourage them to save rather than spend.

Encouraging people to save should slow the increase in prices of everyday goods. With fewer buyers in the market, sellers will find it hard to put their prices up. This information perhaps clarifies what will happen after the increasement of interest rate in the US.

Can you be quiet,the keystone project had nothing to do with jobs and it was in benefit of Canadians not Americans go and educate yourself before rambling nonsense online. It was even temporary

Biden is not weak the Trump you worship is busy worshipping Putin under Trump America increased its interest rate in 2018 go and read and stop embarrassing yourself.
The current carnage in Ukraine is occasioned by Europe's dependence on Russia for it's oil and gas supplies.Under Trump, the US pumped fourteen million to fifteen million barrels per day and could afford to support her European allies with oil.Biden,in pursuit of climate change reversed all of that down to some ten million, making the US sort of energy dependent.Meanwhile,Obama had earlier encouraged Merkel to switch off all of Germany's nuclear power stations in pursuit of same climate change agenda placing that country in total dependence on Russia for energy

Answer this, why do share prices go down, whenever there is news of or an increase in interest rate?

Where did you get that from? In fact the U.S stock market reacted positively to the rate increase since it helps with inflation. The U.S stock market has been taking huge hits for several months now because of high inflation....Please get your facts straight!

Which new investor wants to invest in a country that can just wake up one day to seize your investments because of the action of the government of your country? Which blessing when this hurt the purchasing power of the consumers? The US and UK are in deep economic quagmire. I predict more hike in another three months grin grin grin

Whether you like it or not, majority of the world cannot do without the USD. Clean investors have nothing to worry about and majority would rather invest in the USA than to invest in any other country due to its history. Things might change in the future but for now, USA still reigns supreme when it comes to investors. Furthermore, go back and read my comments here you'll see why this rate increase is actually very good, I don't know where you got that it would hurt the purchasing power of consumers but you should really educate yourself on what the average interest rate should be, most certainly interest rates of less than 1% is nothing to worry about when historically it has been in the range of 4-5%.

It rallied briefly yesterday, right now it's flat lining. I deal in crypto and stocks so I know this. But you didn't answer the question. The question is why does price of stocks go down, when their is news of or should I say rumour of increase in interest rates.

Again I'll answer your question by saying you need to stick to facts. Stocks rally or drop based on several factors from market sentiments to global recession. When you say stock flatlined are you talking about scalping? Hourly? Daily? Weekly? Monthly? What chart are you looking at?

Furthermore, you honestly believe the stock market declining today has anything to do with interest rate increase more than it has to do with Ukraine, global supply crisis and inflation? Here's one way to burst your theory? Before yesterday what was it? Can you compare it to the previous week? Do you see a positive or negative correlation? You'll be surprised to know that stocks have been declining well before the interest rate increase hence your theory in this particular situation is not applicable.

Finally, as someone who has traded forex, stocks and bonds for over 15 years now, I can tell you one thing, you're missing context, before news like this can affect the market positively or negatively you must consider what was the expectation? Were investors/consumers expecting the rate increase or was it a surprise? This determines how the market moves. For example if they were expecting 0.25 point increase but the feds left interest rate at 0.25 then it could signal that the economy is still too weak and needs to be stimulated, conversely, if they were expecting no rate increase and the feds increased by 1 points, it could mean the feds are trying to combat inflation and the market can react negatively or not at all, notice the keyword "EXPECTING".
