미국의 역대 대통령과 차원이 다르군요. 이제 절벽 끝에서 승부를 보겠다는 의미로 받아들여야 하는데 미치겠군요... 상식을 벗어난 압박을 하더니만 연준이 두손들었네요. 이 다음은 어디로갈지...금리 올릴 수 있는 상황도 아닌데 결국 마이너스 금리로 가겠다는 것인데...2008년 이후 다시..암튼 벼랑 끝입니다. 이것과 관련해서 게시물 작성하겠습니다.
첫댓글 오늘 국내 주식 또 떨어지나요?!

기사내용을 보니 양적완화에 기준금리 0%로 내렸습니다. 2008년 금융위기로 다시 돌아걌네요.
몇일만에 금리를 무려 1.5%나 없애버리네요 사상 초유의 사건
