They will quickly reverse course once the hyper-bubble begins to implode, just as they did in 2018. In 2018, we only got to 2.5% before things started to fall apart. This time, I doubt we can even get to 1.5% before that happens.

They have to end this madness with ZIRP and cheap money even if that means imploding the entire global economy. It was all FAKE and PHONY anyway so no one should feel sorry about it. How are we going to win a war with Russia.....with ZIRP, cheap money and devaluated US dollars? I don't think so. It's time to make our currency strong again. The era of cheap money is ending. The Fed experiment has failed badly.

Good Luck!

All that's needed is a bit of "demand destruction"; hopefully regular folks don't get too upset about it.

You obviously have never thrown a snowball into a moving car through the sunroof from 40 meters away.

Lots of truth to this statement!

We need to raise the rates in general.
We can’t keep borrowing like this. But it needs to be a gradual and well timed process, otherwise the risk of triggering a serious recession is a likely event. In one area particularly- commercial real estate, rising rates will translate into rising cap rates which will wipe a lot of values off the table for everyone involved, especially the big REITS, state pension funds, and your retirement accounts. It’s a tough balancing act in that space.

However, there are many variables involved, not the least of which is how much money you have in savings vs your cost and standard of living.

If you can pay off your balance and still have at least $50,000 for emergencies, it would be a good idea to do so and then take the equivalent of the mortgage payments and put them into savings consistently.
I have a mortgage on my home at 3%. I regard it as the cheapest loan I am ever going to have. I think its a terrific bargain. I won't pay it off until the last payment on my 15 year loan.

No doubt, the US taxpayers will probably be on the hook for a few hundred billion to help rebuild Ukraine, thanks Putin!
