An
hour ago, the European Central Bank President (and former Goldman Sachs
Exec) Mario Draghi shocked the financial markets by unexpectedly
cutting interest rates. The Euro was butchered, the Dollar leaped, and
stock market futures leaped also. Stocks are already at fresh new
all-time record highs, just 30 minutes before the NYSE opens for trading
this morning.
from the news media:
*DRAGHI SAYS EURO AREA GROWTH RISKS REMAIN `ON THE DOWNSIDE'
*DRAGHI SAYS EURO AREA INFLATION RISKS ARE `BROADLY BALANCED'
*DRAGHI: MARKET CONDITIONS POTENTIALLY NEGATIVE FOR ECONOMY
*DRAGHI SAYS UNEMPLOYMENT REMAINS HIGH
*DRAGHI: EURO AREA MAY FACE PROLONGED PERIOD OF LOW INFLATION
And
so, since the "Euro Area growth risks remain 'on the downside'",
'unemployment remains high', and they have a 'potentially negative
economy', stocks are leaping HIGHER and are in new record territory as a result! Is logic, reason, and
risk so foreign to these people in the financial markets, that they
ignore all reality?
