“Zero percent.

What’s after that?”

After Zero comes negative rates whereby we pay the Treasury for the privilege holding our money for safe keeping. It is already happening in Germany and Switzerland.

If it happens here expect the stock and bond market to explode upwards dramatically as cash holders seek any sort of return better than 0-

However I don’t see this happening since our debt load would not allow for bonds being so attractive they would find buyers willing to accept no reward for their risk.

And if there’s a trade war going on at the time that spooks people from the market, gold will go over 2000 again.

Heck it took out 1500 already, even if it did dip below today on some “positive” trade news.
