Let me lay it out for you.
Under Obama interest rates were kept at 0.25% for 7 years until December 2015 when it was raised to 0.5%.
Since Trump won the election
0.75% on December 14, 2016
1.0% on March 5, 2017.
1.25% on June 14, 2017.
1.5% on Dec. 13, 2017.
1.75% on March 21, 2018.
2.0% on June 13, 2018.
2.25% on September 26, 2018.
And has now announced that it will raise the rate to 3.0% the largest rise so far.
It has already wiped $4Trillion off of the markets.
How did you expect the US & World markets to react to the new announcement? |
There was a very good reason in why interest rates were kept so low for seven years and had nothing to do really with Obama
It was because of the financial crash and that’s why I said it had nothing really to do with Obama as he had only been in office for 15 months when it happened so it was to some extent out of his control
Some will say that he should have done something to have stopped the crash, but the troubles that caused the crash had been brewing for many years before he took office
Now the reason the Fed is raising interest rates is because the American economy is running away with itself, so something had to be done
The same would happen in this country if our economy started to grow to fast
Mind you I don’t see that happening for years to come |  | | |

Strictly speaking, that’s you copying and pasting someone else’s forecast back in June  |
You don't seem to have made it far enough down the thread to read where I dispute the otherwise quite brilliant former FT Markets editor Gillian Tett's conclusion on the timing and specifically call for an autumn panic.
Then stick to my guns some months later when the market was soaring.
Just saying. |  |

US Interest rate chart:
Key
-----
- Blue line: Fed Funds rate
- Purple: 3 month Treasury bill rate
- Red: 1 year treasury bond rate
- Green: 10 year Treasury Bond rate
The dashed Line is election day 2016 when Trump was elected. Notice how the long term market interest rate as indicated by the 10 year bond rate shot up then.
However, the 1-year rate had already been rising steadily through 2015, even as the Fed held rates at historic lows. Nothing too alarming at that stage, but the market was forcing the Fed's hand.
When investors sell treasury bonds in the process driving interest rates higher, they are not required to fill out slips saying what has caused them to sell.
It could be they fear future inflation will eat into their real returns. Or it could be they perceive increasing political risk from say government shutdowns,and ultimately credit default.
However, whatever the reason, the risk premium that sophisticated global investors have demanded for owning debt as printed by the Trump administration has rocketed. This is a fact not open for debate.
It is also a fact that there is misguided but popular stock market valuation model in use referred to as 'the Fed model' that says the higher the interest rate, the lower the value of stocks.
Draw your own conclusions. | |

. . .and for comparison here is the prior rate hike cycle, again showing how the market leads and the Fed follows (this time with a semi-log scale)

Classic, blame Trump for what the Fed has done, just like the OP.
How well do you think Bank rate rises of 2.5% in 2 years would go down in the UK if Carney of the BoE did it? |
Huge congratulations to the Fed for orchestrating yesterday’s 1,000 point rise in the Dow. |  | | |
