This is national. Federal bonds etc.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76830601


A Danish bank has launched the world's first negative interest rate mortgage – handing out loans to homeowners where the charge is minus 0.5% a year. Negative interest rates effectively mean that a bank pays a borrower to take money off their hands, so they pay back less than they have been loaned.

[link to www.theguardian.com (secure)]

As far as central banks:

Japan -.1
Eurozone is at zero.
Britain is at .75.
Australia is at 1%.

When banks go negative that means Deflation. The bank would rather lend you their money at 99.5%because they know it will be worth less than that before the loan is paid off .
 Quoting: Cap’n Obvious


Everything is centered around growth, but what happens when there's no place left to grow?? I support a more balanced approach where loans are not cheap and debt is discouraged...but that's not reality

We will not see free loans. A negative rate in the US would mean cheaper loans but never free. The banks can charge their rate plus prime ...or minus prime lol

The Federal Reserve should get our interest rates down to ZERO, or less, and we should then start to refinance our debt. INTEREST COST COULD BE BROUGHT WAY DOWN, while at the same time substantially lengthening the term. We have the great currency, power, and balance sheet.....

This will screw over current retired and those close to retirement.

It will also hurt the lower classes as bank fees will have to increase so the banks can make a profit.

Inflation will also increase which is bad for the lower and lower middle class workers.

It's good for business owners and people that want to borrow money but it's bad for everybody else.

You are joking right?

When I was a kid in the sixties and opened

around 6%.
That was the REWARD I got for SAVING MY MONEY.

If it had been 0%, it would have stayed in

It would also save people who owe hundreds of millions of dollars for things like bank loans for expensive real estate. Add that onto the big tax break for the rich and getting rid of the estate tax (which I’m sure is a relief to most of us here) could save certain people tons of money. Trump just keeps on MAGA.

Why does the stock market always celebrate a Fed rate cut? An interest rate cut means businesses get cheaper loans to grow and hire more employees...GROWTH!! and that growth will fuel more jobs, more buying of equipment for businesses, and so on...
 Quoting: BRIEF


They could cut the corporate tax rate and increase the personal tax rate on the super wealthy and accomplish a lot more.

Instead of the CEO's paying themselves 20 million a year they'll be reinvesting that money in the company like they did when the top individual tax rate was at 90%.

IRS are Federal Reserve private bank employees. They take your money in taxes so that government can pay back the interest To the Federal reserve.

If he cuts the middle man and the fed, then Trump can go and make their own money backed by the gold standard. Way before the Fed Reserve was established. Thus it cuts their power over us and cuts their achilles. Subsequently it will trickle down around the world. This could turn into a golden era.

We got x amount of money,most of its hoarded by baby boomers,this cash is locked up in banks as banks are required to hold x amount.with trumps idea,this gets cash in the system.you get a job and you get a job,everybody gets a job!
Hyperinflation is venezula,a shithole with very little manufacturing.
The country needs jobs and what fed likes is very valuable money.when nobody has a job,dollars are strong,when everybody has a job,dollars are weaker.trannity makes money off unemployed bozos sitting around on the www chatting.ad revenue.
When we are working,his revenue goes down.we had very little hyper inflation in 2000,our country was doing great.fed hates it when our country succeeds.
Then the rich folks money hoards is less valuable.
Why should i mow rich mans yard for twenty when i can mske 100 as a clerk at mcdonalds?
Then rich man has to mow his own yard,but because rich man partied his life away,rich man is crippled.well rich cripple,get to work!

Trannities hyperinflation is bs,fed will never allow that but,fed has been choking the little man to death.for years.twenty years to be exact.
Fed should have never touched the economy years back.it should have forced bankruptcies of banks and flooded the housing market with cheap houses.this would have stabilized the economy as young couples bought cheap and remodeled houses.
Thus stimulating construction and material sales.
As it is now.they have killed so many small businesses that were thriving.
Fed almost murdered this country,they should be hung for treason.
We had a great economy in 2000 and fed fucked it up.

I’m in real estate and all for 0% or neg rates. Refinancing the federal debt at 0% would save the country a ton. Banks already pay nothing, millennials and gen x have nothing so it would only hurt boomers who keep money in the bank.

Stocks will boom, real estate will boom, borrowing costs for small businesses would expand.

The only thing better then 0% is abolishing the fed and printing our own money. Cutting rates to 0 is almost like cutting the tenatacles off the fed reserve

So...

If the Fed cuts interest rates to zero or negative interest rates, regular banks would follow suit? Or is this only for the Fed which finances our National debt?
 Quoting: Éireann


The key interest rate the Feds like to play with is the overnight lending rate from one bank to another. At a zero rate they can't make money so they charge you and I just to have cash there to pay bills with, but it gives borrowers very cheap loans. Loans are how businesses grow and new ones start up...credit card interest is often tied to the prime rate, so credit card debt becomes cheaper too...nearly free loans can cause explosive growth...
