Hong Kong cuts rates, spurs 10% jump

in Interest Rate News

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority cuts its benchmark interest rate by a half-point to1.5% yesterday. The Hang Seng jumped by 10% on the news.

Quite a different response than what we saw in the U.S. to a rate cut. I’ve said it before — if you’re going to beinvested in stocks, make sure your dollars are invested in superball markets instead of dead cat markets.
