RE:Why Negative Rates Most likely not going happen here....

If it's bad for the economy, then why does Japan and the European Union do it??  We just copy the US.  If the US does it, we'll do it.  And Trump wants negative rates...

2)  Negative Rates runs against the ultimate goal of wanting a Healthy growing market.  Negative means Negative.....which will put pressure on the economy to go negative.     Market growth is determined by Risk and Reward (risk vs yield).    Low/Negative Rates = Market want low/no Risk,    No Risk no Growth.........

3)  History has shown Negative Rates (or in other words no reward) are/will be BAD for the economy.     It does not have to be Interest Rates that the government manipulates, it could be anything.  No Reward = BAD.        History is littered with examples where the government tries to "HELP" but ends up doing more damage.     

4)  Rates already took a jump up......hopefully going back up to pre-Covid19 levels.


This are my opinions.... But you should always prepare for ANYTHING.   Anything is possible these days.
