The Big Short Part II…
The meeting proceeded smoothly as our efficient host, Archer, explicitly
applied the technical terms to our daily lives as follows.
Financial Policies
To achieve the overall stable and growing economy, the central bank in each
country will adopt financial policies like currency, interest rate or
exchange rate and so on. QE, one of the policies, has often carried out
although not every country couldactually succeed.
QE= Quantitative Easing
The central bank prints Quantitative money to ease the pressure of the banks
as well as of the deflation.
US QE
After 2008, Fed launched QE, printing money bills to buy long-term bonds in
the open market, the bidding prices of which were high but with lowest
interest rate. Thus, all the banks could maintain the original Housing Market
on the basis of low-interest house loan offer which the general public could
afford. Therefore, Fed avoided the deflation of US caused by the economic
tsunami of 2008, and accordingly continued practicing QE1, QE2, and QE3,
which did not seem to fade away.
US QE impacts
1. The world: As US$ has been the world reserved monetary, all the
Offering Price of world-wide commodity are based on US$. Too much US$ at the
lower and lower interest rates devalued US$, boosted the prices of commodity,
caused the global inflation and seriously revalued other currencies.
2. US itself: It successfully saved the US markets after 2008 and speeded
up the economic recovery and prosperity at little cost of devaluing US$.
Reflections
Thank Archer and all the participants for the efforts and participation. As
each coin has two sides, we have to be alert about the impacts of any
policies like QE, fixed or floating exchange rate system to adjust our
investment portfolio.
