    0.5% at one go would be jarring.

    just show how much the world is relying on this zero cost drugs..
    i recalled in 2002~3.. after greenspan held interest rate at 1% after the nasdaq bubble.. everyone is talking about 1% being ridiculously low rates. now we are saying a double hike of 0.5%, which is half of what used to be the greenspan zero rate level, is now devastating.. 8-)

    I think about my parents' double-digit mortgage interest rate in the late 1970's and shake my head in amazement at the rates today.

    Lol, think about not too far down the memory lane, 10-11% mortgage rate pre-97 in HK and the rate vs property prices today and how market is beyond complecent about rates these days!! If 20th century was industrial revoluation, 21st is the cenruty of financial revolution/reengeneering..
