.. all higher after the rate increase http://www.marke****ch.com/story/bank-stocks-rise-in-europe-but-miners-suffer-after-fed-move-2016-12-15?siteid=yhoof2

.. an article about the rate increase.. from Spain.. bottom line.. capital flows... fast.. to the places of best returns.. affected faster will be those countries with marginal financial power.. ex.. latin america.. china.. russia.. others.. they will have to raise their interest rates to compete and attract capital.. defend their currencies.. there is a lot of turmoil in the markets now.. oil pricing.. currencies.. and now interest rates.. and Trump.. http://www.elmundo.es/economia/2016/12/15/585192fee2704e62768b4653.html

.. with this small rate increase the FED rate will now be 0.50 - 0.75.. if there are 3 rate increases next year of 0.25 each that would bring interest rates to a 1.25 - 1.50 level.. i doubt the EU can leave their rates at the 0.25 - 0.50 through end of 2017.. the world capital would flow to NY in a short 12 months.. http://www.cnbc.com/2016/12/15/european-markets-seen-lower-after-fed-announces-faster-than-expected-tightening.html?__source=yahoo%257cfinance%257cheadline%257cheadline%257cstory&par=yahoo&doc=104168013

.. the bookies are probably making bets on the rate increases..

.. the much awaited FED day is here today wednesday.. i had read of interest rate projections for the next 3 yrs with a target of 2.25% .. the expectations are a rate increase of .25 today on the low side with up to .50 on the high side .. for 2017 the interest rate should be a little over 1%.. with anywhere between 2 to 3 rate increases.. in 2018 the target is 2%.. 2019 at least 2.25% or better.. it looks like several increases using .25 increments.. over the next few years.. these rate increases will force the EU to follow the same tracking direction.. or risk furthering devaluation of the euro or the £ which is not likely to follow.. what this boils down to is the end of cheap money for now.... higher mortgage rates.. credit card rates.. this should be positive for banks.. less worry about the effects of negative interest rates upon banks.. also.. a higher NIM allows space for a dividend.. more price stability for share prices.. here is a blog to follow today regarding NY market.. http://www.cnbc.com/2016/12/14/federal-reserve-expected-to-raise-interest-rates-at-todays-meeting.html?__source=yahoo%257cfinance%257cheadline%257cheadline%257cstory&par=yahoo&doc=104163967

.. new lows caused by US elections.. the promise of higher rates by the FED.. the solution for the euro will be higher rates. .. more discipline for EU members in budgeting.. could reach parity the way its headed .. but it could be short term if rates are raised..

.. Trump. .. trumping the Obummer political decisions.... 180 degree turn...
