In the first post Financial Vulnerability and Macroeconomic Fragility we argue that the effects of an increase in interest rates on the macroeconomy depends on how vulnerable the financial system is libertystreeteconomics.newyorkfed.org/2023/05/financ… 2/n
We also propose a new measure of financial system vulnerability, the Financial (In)Stability Real Interest Rate, r**, based precisely on the question: How large an interest rate increase can the financial system take before entering a crisis?

Let's rewind to a year ago, I applied for a home loan at an ROI of 6.55% per annum.📝 Everything was hunky-dory until the ROI decided to play its game and leapfrogged to 9.05% in just a year (Courtesy: I don't have to tell you) 2/9📈😧 #interestrates #hike
Fast forward to recently, during my application for a new home loan, the banker informed me about a scheme at HDFC. I was told that my current ROI can be reduced to a minimum of 8.35%! 3/9📉🏦 #HDFCScheme #HDFCHomeLoans
Today’s #CPI report continues to depict #inflation that is just too high for most people’s good, especially the @federalreserve’s.
In fact, the report showed that #inflation remains remarkably sticky, which doesn’t correspond to virtually any practical thinker’s timeline of when it might be expected to start to come down further.
These elevated levels of inflation continue to be remarkably high relative to the many months with which the #economy has now operated with persistently higher #InterestRates.
1/8 Global stock markets navigate uncertainties of interest rate hikes & inflation, with a focus on India. The world's sixth-largest economy faces robust growth & mounting inflationary pressures. #GlobalStockMarkets #IndiaEconomy
2/8 India's GDP growth rate reached 8.4% in 2021, but the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 6.01%, breaching the RBI's target range. Rising global commodity prices, supply chain disruptions, & COVID-19 contribute to this surge. #IndiaGDP #Inflation

🧵 Poilievre's #misinformation saying the federal govt has done nothing on #housing is bogus. #Housingsupply is a primarily a Provincial & Municipal issue. During 2022 the federal govt has taken significant steps towards making housing more affordable for Canadians including:
#Budget2023 announces that financial institutions will be able to start offering the Tax-Free #FirstHomeSavingsAccount to Canadians as of April 1, 2023.
#Budget2023 announces the government's intention to support the reallocation of funding from the National Housing Co-Investment Fund's repair stream to its new construction stream, as needed, to boost the construction of new affordable homes for the Canadians who need them most

@PierrePoilievre's dishonest and shameful 'blame it all on Trudeau' campaign for things the PM does not control rages on. In fact, the PM does not control #foodpricing, #fueloilpricing, #rentpricing, #mortgagepaymentpricing or #interestrates in Canada.
IMO @PierrePoilievre 's dishonourable rhetoric on rising food, gas, oil prices, interest rates & rents is evidence of intent to deceive.
Why doesn't the media challenge him to provide alternative proposals instead of publishing his attacks on Trudeau for things he can't control?

Why are savings rates stuck at 3.5%? Despite being deregulated in Oct 2011, banks have stuck to 3.5-4% over the past decade. Some exceptions existed such as Kotak Mahindra's 811 account which offered 6% in 2017 and 5% from 2018-2020. But these have also disappeared over time.
In today's era of rising rates, this is a free lunch for banks. The lunch was a tiny snack in 2020-21 when rates were cut. Moving money to an FD wasn't that rewarding. You got maybe 1-2% more. Today, that free lunch is a buffet. Savings rates are half of FD rates of even 1 year.
The same gap exists with returns of money market funds. In both cases you give up some liquidity. In case of FDs, a sudden need for money will mean breaking it and losing interest (note sweep-in sweep-out FDs can sort this out).
