Chapter 501: Global interest rate hikes, I cut interest rates, starting a financial decisive battle
"Oh my god, what did I hear?"
"The Fed is going crazy to continue raising interest rates. A 12% deposit interest rate goes back to the Cold War!"
"The US stock market is about to collapse, run away!"
"Damn you, Davic, you're going to force me to jump off the building!!!"
The market originally expected that this interest rate meeting would maintain the deposit rate unchanged at 10%, but when Davich announced another interest rate hike, traders around the world were shocked.
this moment.
The financial tsunami swept the world.
International gold prices plummeted.
The U.S. dollar exchange rate soared.
US stocks fell sharply.
Not only the US stock market, but also all other stock markets have experienced a cliff-like drop, an extremely straight line.
Although the stock markets of many countries are closed, the index trading in the futures market is open 24 hours a day. The most intuitive one is the Nikkei 225 Index, which is a straight line like a ten-thousand-meter cliff.
"Bagaya road!"
In the office of the chairman of the island nation's FSA Financial Services Agency, Saito Ii clenched his hands, veins bulging, and stared at the screen in front of him.
With a deposit interest rate of 12%, the United States is aiming to drain global liquidity!
If he remembered correctly, the Federal Reserve's deposit interest rate of more than 11% dates back to the Cold War.
As we all know, after the end of S2, the world was in a situation of two heroes competing for supremacy.
Since both sides have a large number of nuclear bombs, it is impossible to have a real fight to determine who will dominate the world.
Therefore, both sides had a tacit understanding and chose to use technological and financial wars to determine who would be the world hegemon at the end of the 20th century.
It was also during this period that human technological level advanced by leaps and bounds.
For example, the United States' Apollo Program allowed humans to set foot on the moon for the first time and brought back nearly 400 kilograms of lunar soil.
The former Russian Empire also developed the MiG series of fighter jets and made significant achievements in the deployment of nuclear weapons, such as the improvement of the defense system. Even today, the defense system of the sea and land deployment is still a powerful weapon.
In terms of military, they are equally matched.
Technology, on par.
But the only area where the former Russian bear failed was finance.
The United States, relying on its status as a financial power, has continued to raise interest rates.
In 1982, the U.S. deposit rate was as high as 10.25%. Although it dropped to 1983% in 9.5, the Federal Reserve raised it to 1984% in 11.25. Until the separation of the Soviet Union and the Soviet Union in 1991, the U.S. still maintained a deposit rate of 9.5%.
After the birth of the world hegemon, the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates several times, declaring its victory.
But now?
Super high interest rates are back!
The 12% deposit interest rate had already made Saito Ii uneasy, and the straight line of Nikkei 225 futures made him make up his mind.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death. The United States doesn't care about the lives of anyone and is determined to destroy the economic system of Longguo."
He has seen clearly that the United States will never stop raising interest rates before destroying the economic system of Dragon Country, and will continue to raise interest rates desperately, trying to repeat the old trick.
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-"
The phone on Saitoi's desk rang.
Because it is super central bank week, financial leaders from various countries will not go off work before the Federal Reserve announces its March interest rate.
"FSA, Saito Ii, please speak."
The words fell.
A low, somewhat old voice came from the other end of the phone.
"The interest rate meeting has approved and is preparing to announce a 100 basis point rate hike."
“100 basis points?”
Saito Jing felt his scalp tingling instantly.
100 basis points means a 1% interest rate hike. Don't underestimate this 1%. You should know that the Japanese yen is the second most important internationally traded currency after the US dollar.
The most important thing is that the long-term zero interest rate of the Japanese yen has established a complete financial transaction ecosystem, which is commonly known as the "Mrs. Watanabe" financial transaction model.
The shock caused by a 1% interest rate hike is no less than that of a continuous interest rate hike in the US dollar.
"Has the United States agreed?"
Saito I asked.
“They won’t agree, but they raised the rate by 200 basis points without considering our survival. Now we can only protect ourselves.”
"I see."
"Hold an interest rate meeting in advance and announce it."
"understood."
After the call was hung up, Saito Ii's breathing stopped for a few seconds. Too many images flashed through his mind. If the interest rate hike button was really pressed here, the financial situation would instantly become intense.
But do they have a choice?
They no longer have a choice.
Island countries, peninsulas, Southeast Asia, and some European countries have all been visited by Wall Street tycoons.
Again?
I really can’t bear it anymore!
……
Not only is the island nation's central bank considering raising interest rates, but when the United States announced the rate hike, European countries were holding emergency meetings to discuss whether to raise interest rates to prevent further outflow of domestic funds.
And on the other side.
The imperial capital of the Dragon Kingdom.
The headquarters building of the China Securities Regulatory Commission.
Even though it was already two o'clock in the morning, Xiao Gang was not in a hurry to leave work. Instead, he waited for the results of the Federal Reserve's interest rate meeting to be released in the early morning.
"Ah…"
When the result of a 2% interest rate hike came out, he couldn't help but smile helplessly.
The Dragon Country's stock market has been booming these days, which has really made those people at the Federal Reserve uneasy, and they are trying to use the same old tricks again.
The 12% deposit interest rate was beyond Xiao Gang's expectations, but it was within his control because hundreds of meetings held in the past half month had already taken this into account.
Xiao Gang did not hesitate and immediately called Yu Wei, the governor of the Bank of China.
"It seems we can only continue to descend."
The first thing Yu Wei said when he answered the phone was about the interest rate cut.
Looking around the world, facing the continuous wave of interest rate hikes in the United States, only China dares to confront it head-on and adopt a strategy of lowering interest rates.
Other countries, such as Britain, France and Germany, are basically led by the nose.
If the United States raises interest rates, they can only follow suit. If they choose not to raise interest rates, domestic funds will instantly gather towards the United States, which is something they do not want to see.
"We can only continue to reduce prices. I hope that technology companies like Longxing Group, Kunpeng, and ByteDance can bring about changes."
Xiao Gang said worriedly.
After today, technology companies such as Longxing Group, Kunpeng Company, and ByteDance will be officially listed for trading.
According to the trend of the past two days, there shouldn't be any problems tomorrow.
However, the sudden interest rate hike still poured cold water on Xiao Gang, Yu Wei and others, and their mood became heavy.
A deposit interest rate of 12% is almost catching up with Buffett’s annual rate of return.
"Then when it gets light, I will hold a meeting on interest rates and try my best to ensure that the stock market moves upward tomorrow."
Yu Wei has given up intervening in the Longguo stock market today because the market needs time to digest the news of the US dollar interest rate hike.
In the stock market, try not to go against the trend. This is the experience of veterans.
It is actually of little significance to hastily announce a rate cut before the news of the US dollar rate hike has been digested by the market.
But if an interest rate cut is announced after the market closes, coupled with the listing of technology companies such as Longxing Group and ByteDance tomorrow, then the situation will be different. The effect of one plus one may be greater than two.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Xiao Gang also agreed with Yu Wei's approach.
However, neither of them expected that while they were talking on the phone, the island country suddenly announced that it would hold an emergency interest rate meeting.
The speed is rare in ancient and modern times.
Has anyone seen the interest rate meeting held in the early morning?
Even the US Federal Reserve holds its meetings in the afternoon. Although due to the time difference, it seems to be held in the early morning in Longguo, it is actually held during the day.
The island nation's early morning interest rate meeting caused Wall Street traders to start cashing in their chips; they had already sensed something unusual.
As soon as Davic learned the news, he immediately contacted his confidants in the island country to ask what was going on.
however.
The confidant knows nothing when asked.
"What on earth do these little bastards want to do?"
Davic was pacing back and forth in a hurry.
Wei Yan took in the entire scene and slowly put down his coffee cup.
He had already learned from Chen Xing that the island nation's top leaders were considering raising interest rates. If nothing unexpected happened, this emergency interest rate meeting in the early morning would be to discuss the basis for the yen interest rate hike and to vote on it.
In order to further gain Davich's trust and stabilize his position in the Federal Reserve, he began to analyze:
"The Nikkei 225 itself is shaky, and the island nation's domestic economy is in a state of contraction. Exports are also being suppressed, and it is already on the brink of collapse. This time our interest rate hike may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back. What they can do is most likely to recall the yen overseas to prevent further capital outflow."
“Who are you to make them raise rates?”
As soon as Wei Yan finished speaking, Davic's face showed a rare hint of panic.
If the Japanese yen really raises interest rates, a large amount of Mrs. Watanabe's funds will be withdrawn from the United States. This is no joke.
"They had no choice."
Wei Yan nodded in confirmation.
"Do they have the guts to do this? They didn't even ask for permission from us."
Davic's thinking is still not smooth.
In his impression, the island country is his own orchard, he can pluck a handful of fruit when he has nothing to do, anyway, it won't talk or get angry. But now, the orchard has mutated and dares to produce poisonous fruit, which makes Davic a little overwhelmed.
Not only him, but also senior US officials such as Renato Marotta, Clayton, and Michael Sunshini did not expect that the island country, which had always been docile and obedient, would actually want to resist.
Can the Japanese Yen Raise Interest Rates?
For the United States, absolutely not!
According to incomplete statistics from financial institutions, at least 7000 billion US dollars of Japanese yen are involved in US stock transactions, and another 6000 billion US dollars of Japanese yen are deposited in US banks.
If half of these funds run away, it will be the heaviest blow to the US economy.
Clayton was about to send a message to Davic to appease the island nation, hoping that they would hold on a little longer, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he was the only one who could come forward now.
But when he called, he found that he couldn't get through.
It wasn't just Clayton who couldn't get through. Renato Marotta and Michael Sunshini also couldn't get through to the island country's top officials.
They finally came to their senses and regretted having done something so drastic.
But now they cannot cancel the 2% interest rate hike, and they dare not cancel it because the Dragon Country’s stock market is siphoning global funds, and if they don’t raise interest rates, something bad will happen.
The interest rate hike went wrong.
Even if we don't raise interest rates, something will happen.
Renato Marotta, Clayton, Davic, and Mike Sunshini all feel that the U.S. economy has reached a dead end.
If it were in the past, we could still rely on the dominant position of the US dollar and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

With the rise of the banking settlement system, the status of the U.S. dollar has long been declining, and they can no longer sit back and reap the benefits of the world.
……
Tokyo time, 6:30 in the morning.
It was already dawn, and many islanders who had invested in the stock market woke up.
When they saw the Nikkei 3.9 index futures at -225%, they felt dizzy and wanted to go to the rooftop of the Ginza Building to get some fresh air.
-
3.9% what concept?
This is before the market opens.
What if it opens?
-
9%?
-
10%?
Or more negative?
When the people of the island saw the decline in futures prices, they had given up hope. They thought they were buying at the bottom, but they ended up buying in vain.
With a drop of this magnitude, even if there is capital to support the market, it must not be done today because this is the general trend.
Less than three hours before the market opened, the Ginza Building and many other high-rise buildings were blocked off, for fear that investors would free fall.
When Japanese stock investors were completely desperate, the FSA did not hold a press conference but directly issued a global announcement.
[In order to cope with the complex global economic situation, the FSA Financial Services Agency has absorbed opinions from various parties and, with the authorization of the island nation's central bank, solemnly announced the results of this interest rate meeting.
1. The interest rate is increased by 100 basis points.
2. We will consider continuing to raise interest rates in the future, with no upper limit.
3. The mortgage interest rate will remain unchanged.
The purpose of this rate hike is to stabilize the domestic economy. The FSA will continue to pay attention to economic changes and make corresponding adjustments. ]
When the Japanese yen rate hike announcement came out, the stock market, which had been falling unilaterally, did not look back and continued to look for the bottom area.
-
6% -
7.4% -
8.7%
Nikkei 225 futures plunged.
But it is worth mentioning that the exchange rate of the Japanese yen has suddenly soared, almost in a straight line, with an increase of as high as 1.7%, and it is still rising and cannot be stopped at all.
Saito Ii and others have already discussed that once a large amount of yen flows back to the island country, they will start to rescue the market and will never sit idly by and wait for death.
The interest rate hike of the Japanese yen further led to the collapse of global index futures.
Nasdaq futures fell 3%, Dow Jones and S&P also fell 2%, and stock index futures in Britain, France and Germany also fell sharply. The global yen began to flow back.
No one expected that the island country would send out such an hawkish signal.
A 100 basis point rate hike is not much, but the statement that there is no upper limit to rate hikes in the future has caught all traders off guard. Moreover, after the appreciation of the Japanese yen, the amount of US dollars exchanged for Japanese yen will decrease. Now, whoever runs slower will have a lower rate of return.
After the announcement of a 100 basis point interest rate hike for the Japanese yen, Clayton, the patriarch of the Rothschild family, finally got through to Saito Ii.
"What do you want to do?"
The first sentence that comes out is a question.
"It's not about what we want to do, but what you want to do. We really can't resist any longer."
Saitoi's attitude is very tough.
Hearing the other party's tone, Clayton was stunned. He even doubted whether he had heard it wrongly. How dare that little bastard from the island country talk to him like that?
"Can you say that again?"
Clayton lowered his voice, and it was extremely sinister.
"Chief Clayton, it's not that we want to raise interest rates, but we have no choice. If we don't, the island nation's economy will be finished." Saito I slowed down his tone and expressed his difficulties.
"Why didn't you tell us first?"
"Ugh!"
In response to Clayton's question, Saitoi sighed. Although he did not explain why, the sigh said it all.
Inform the United States in advance?
Then can this interest be increased?
This can only be done first and reported later.
Both sides were silent. Clayton actually did not dare to force the island country because the island country held a large amount of U.S. debt. If the two countries broke up completely and sold debts to each other, the only one who would benefit would be the neighboring Dragon Country.
"The next rate hike will be reported in advance."
After a long silence, Clayton made his concession.
"Row."
Saito I nodded quickly in response.
The tactic of acting before reporting is indeed effective. Now the die is cast. Even if the US financial groups do not want to see the yen raise interest rates, it has already happened and they must face the ensuing financial tsunami.
US dollar interest rate hike.
Yen rate hike.
Three hours later, the European Central Bank urgently announced an interest rate hike, following the footsteps of the United States and the island countries to try to prevent capital outflow.
Immortals fight, mortals suffer.
The sudden interest rate hikes in many countries have caused small countries that were already facing collapse to declare bankruptcy, and some have had no choice but to borrow international funds.
The moment international funds were borrowed, the US sickle had already been cut.
……
Imperial time, 2:00 p.m.
The Nikkei 225 index closed with a single-day drop of 12.4%, and a large number of retail investors and financial institutions were deeply trapped.
Due to external factors, funds in Longguo are relatively conservative. The Jinlong Technology Index, Hang Seng Index and Weighted Index have all fallen to varying degrees. Market funds and nanny funds are on the sidelines.
On the Weibo information platform, many veteran stock investors began to share their experiences.
[Trend King]: "What a familiar feeling. The bull market only lasted for three days before it started to fall again. It's just a different soup but the same substance!"
[Lark]: "The new round of global interest rate hikes not only sank the Nikkei 225 next door, but also brought down our three major indexes. Why don't the nanny funds help to pull it up?"
[Stock Market God]: "To be honest, the market has been in the green for three days this week, which is already great. It's okay to close in the red today. The key is tomorrow. Tomorrow is the day when Longxing Group and ByteDance will open up stock trading. As long as the market closes in the green tomorrow, our stock market can still be saved."
For veteran stock investors, three consecutive days of gains are enough to satisfy them.
Although there was a volatile decline today, the decline was not that large. The Jinlong Technology Index only fell by 0.74%, while the Hang Seng Index and the Weighted Index fell by 1.4% and 1.1% respectively, far less than the 225% of the Nikkei 12.4 Index next door. Many investors have also begun to comfort themselves.
And at the same time.
The Bantian base of Longxing Group in Shenzhen.
Faced with the sudden global collective interest rate hike, Li Daxiao has come to Chen Xing's office and gave the final signal to absorb funds.
"The United States, the island countries, and Europe have all chosen to continue raising interest rates. The Israeli stock market has already fallen 4%. Today is the last wave of buying. Let's get the bad news out."
"Ah."
Chen Xing agreed and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that the right time, right place and right people would be on our side. This is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
When selecting Israeli stocks, in addition to selecting blue chip stocks, we also had to select stocks that Longxing Group could remotely influence.
But now!
Global interest rates have increased!
Before Longxing Group made any move, the Israeli stock index futures fell by 4%, and may continue to plummet when the market opens.
"So we have to seize the opportunity. As long as we crash the Israeli stock market, the chain reaction will be enough to cause great harm to Jewish capital." Li Daxiao's eyes were shining with fighting spirit. This was the first time he faced the edge of the Wall Street giants.
In the financial world, Wall Street tycoons are a formidable presence.
Although everyone is afraid of the Wall Street tycoons, everyone also hopes to step on Wall Street to rise to the top and prove their financial strength.
“Have you finished with the options?”
Chen Xing asked.
"It's all ready. How much I can earn from shorting the end-of-day options at 100 times depends on the strength of tomorrow's market crash."
"Okay, I'll have someone release the news."
"Well, I won't bother you anymore."
After Li Daxiao left the office, Chen Xing called Yao Nana and asked her to make the contents of the electronic document public to the world.
Yao Nana acted very quickly. In less than ten minutes, Longxing Group’s Douyin, Weibo, and TikTok official accounts went into bombardment mode, updating several pieces of content in succession.
[Future prospects of biotechnology, brain-computer interface 3.0 will be open for testing soon. This time, the neural activation current has been upgraded, which is expected to completely solve more neurological diseases. Please stay tuned. ]
[In today's extremely developed Internet information age, network security has become an indispensable pursuit for every user. Jiang Ce, chief network engineer of Longxing Group, joined hands with Hongmeng and invited network security engineers around the world to participate in the "Death Comes Challenge". The new generation of Death Trojan virus will be officially unveiled. Let's see who can defend against it! ]
[If ternary chips and computers become a reality, highly intelligent artificial intelligence will also be available, and L5-level driverless cars will help the development of new energy vehicles and bring down oil prices!]
The several updated blog posts seem to be unrelated, but they are inextricably linked, that is, the technological level of Longxing Group has been improved again, and is still far ahead.
Half an hour after the blog post was released, Israeli index futures fluctuated again.
-
4.7% -
5.2% -
6.4%
Although Longxing Group did not explicitly mention the Israeli stock market, many international investors chose to withdraw their funds for the sake of conservatism.
Not only Israel, but also stock index futures in the United States, Japan, South Korea and Europe are falling, especially the Nasdaq in the United States, which is about to fall by 5%.
As night fell, the central bank, which had been holding back for a day, also issued an announcement.
[In order to further optimize the allocation of financial resources, promote economic structural adjustment and transformation and upgrading, and taking into account the current domestic and international economic and financial situation and market supply and demand conditions, Longguo Bank has decided to adjust the Longguo currency deposit benchmark interest rate from March 2016, 3.
1. In this adjustment, the benchmark interest rates of all levels of Dragon Dollar deposits have been lowered. The benchmark interest rate for demand deposits has been adjusted to 1.6%, the benchmark interest rate for one-year time deposits has been adjusted to 1.78%, the benchmark interest rate for two-year time deposits has been adjusted to 1.9%, and the benchmark interest rate for three years and above has been adjusted to 2.1%.
2. The deposit interest rate adjustment is aimed at guiding financial institutions to better serve the real economy, encouraging banks to increase credit support to enterprises by reducing capital costs, and promoting sustained and healthy economic development.
3. Longguo Bank will continue to implement a prudent monetary policy, maintain a reasonable growth in money supply and social financing scale, and at the same time strengthen macro-prudential management, prevent systemic risks, and ensure financial stability and security. ]
The head-on confrontation with the National Bank instantly topped the hot search lists on Weibo and Douyin, and countless people flocked to the scene.
[Wudi Xiaoxiao]: "Others raise interest rates while I lower them. If you want to know who I am, please call me Brother Long!"
[Ming Jing Jiuzhou]: "Further lowering the deposit interest rate, what kind of country is asking everyone to spend their money? Why don't you invest in the stock market quickly!"
[风轻云淡]: "Brother Long is too tough. The whole world is raising interest rates, but we are lowering them. This is the foundation of a great country!"
In an environment where even the island country could not bear it and chose to raise interest rates, the Dragon Country once again chose to cut interest rates, which also surprised countless people.
But when everyone's attention was attracted by the interest rate cut in Long Country, Israel's stock market had already opened and plummeted.
-
6% -
7.5% -
8.9%
It is not the only country that is experiencing an unstoppable plunge. European stock markets are also falling, and the British and German stock markets have already triggered circuit breakers once.
But what no one had expected was that when the Israeli stock market index fell below 10%, a mysterious fund from the East began to frantically buy the bottom. By the time Jewish capital reacted, it was too late.
