By: Sarah_Jones

Interest-Rates

The US interest rates were cut by 0.5% to 4.75%. The market was already pricing in expectations for 0.25%.

US Stocks rallied strongly on the news with Dow Jones Index rallying more than 300 points on the news to above 13,700 into the last hour of trading.


The Dollar plunged to a new low against the Euro hitting 140

Commodities surged on the falling dollar, with Gold rising above $728 and Crude Oil breaking above $82.

The move comes on the back of strong indicators of the falling housing market and subprime sparked credit crunch pushing the US into recession. The Market Oracle article of 31st July 07 Hedge Fund Subprime Credit Crunch to Impact Interest Rates - highlighted the bullish implications of much lower interest rates in response to the credit crunch.

Banks

If the banks will not lend to their brother rock what do they know that the sheep do not? Why not be true and warn the sheep that if things go south the big banks where wise the serfs were fools.

You at least should bugle reality.

Little serfs will pay. Would you lend to the "rock"

Tell them to get out. Their brother banks who know far more than they already have. Your mommy is watching.
