This is not good. It indicates more loosening by the fed reserve if Europe does not get its act together.
No wonder gold is up so much. I would have thought the dollar would be up too, but it's slightly Down.
Let's hope it's the last push to get the damn economy moving again.

Agree, it is designed to make banks lend the money to get a return rather than to hold it-if they hold it, they have to pay interest to the ECB!

It's happening in the US too. Institutions are just holding on to the money rather then putting it to productive use like lending to businesses and home buyers.
I'm delightfully surprised the stock market is moving up.

Correct and as we discussed the other day, they are using it to buy back their shares instead of investing in people and equipment.
These types of central bank efforts try to force behavior that the companies in their own interest don't want, so they find ways to take the gift and not provide the behavior.

Always less, never enough.
If banks are going to charge me for keeping my money.
I am going to have to go ahead and charge banks for giving me a loan.

Better off putting money in an insured vault if you don't get interest from a bank
With a cashless society, the banksters would force you to loan them money and keep your money with them. Then they would take some with negative interest rates.
Then there can be no complaints of theft- its part of the deal- you pay the banks to hold your money.
APOCALYPSEFUCKisShostikovitch says
It's not called the PRISON GANG RAPE ECONOMY for nothing.
But that is not the half of it. I write in the ebook, Wicked Zionism, that Larry Summers wants a cashless society. With a cashless society, the banksters would force you to loan them money and keep your money with them. Then they would take some with negative interest rates.
So, cashless plus negative is totalitarianism. Just FYI.
What happens when rates increase?
The zionists would be forced to give you interest.
Negetive interest rates in Europe is an act of desperation and there is gonna be a push back.......just give it a couple days!

I think its a coordinated central bank effort designed to get European banks to buy us treasuries as the Fed tapers.

Negative real interest rates are already here, for the banks.
Yep! and it's called QE....

Keep riding this stock market wave, but don't be so greedy as to not get out at some point.

It has flashing warning lights and sirens already but nobody is giving any heed

Are you sure, we can run for a while longer. The Fed is in support.

The fed is your friend. Any warning signs will be addressed by the fed.
Getting out is the hard part. I screw up half the time.

Negative real interest rates are already here for me to poop on. Even the best online savings accounts have probably been giving 1% or lower for the last few years. Inflation since 2009 (according to CPI) is over 10%. Of course, if you've been holding inflation-protected bonds, you may have been doing okay on this measure.

Well, I was referring to the short term rates that are set by the fed. That is fed funds and the discount rate, and to a lesser degree T-BIll rates which they tweak through repos and matched sales in the T-Bill market. But even the prime rate (about 3.25) reflects an extremely low real interest rate. Although I don't know that that rate is widely available to businesses.

15 year mortgages in real terms and after tax benefits are not too far from zero.
What a deal.

They have created this false Potemkin village recovery.

The question remains- what happens after the next crash- will the Fed be able to pick up the pieces again or are they out of bullets?

What we should be doing is handing out millions to anyone who has the slightest bit of a business idea especially if they plan to hire a lot of people.
The European Central Bank announced that they will be instituting negative interest rates.
That means bank customers (banks holding deposits at the European Central Bank) will have to pay to keep their money there.
Banks that pay the ECB to hold their Euros are not going to want to pay interest to depositors for their Euros. European banks may eventually pass along this "cost" to their depositors. This will make holding money in the bank not just futile but a money losing endeavor.
Could negative interest rates happen in the United States?
Federal Reserve Chair, Janet Yellen is on record of being in favor of negative interest rates.
“Accommodative policy is appropriate, in my view, because the economy is operating well below its potential and inflation is undesirably low. If it were positive to take interest rates into negative territory I would be voting for that†– San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank President Janet Louis Yellen – February 2010
Upon receiving word that Ms. Yellen would be the nominee we wrote: “…we will have gone from the low interest rate policies of Alan Greenspan, to the no interest rate policies of Ben Bernanke to the negative interest rates of Janet Yellen.â€
