“The Bank of Korea just unexpectedly cut its key interest rate to 2.5% from 2.75%. This is pretty remarkable, considering that market economists have already been surprised by two other central bank rate cuts this week. On Monday, the Reserve Bank of Australia unexpectedly lowered its key interest rate to 2.75% from 3%. Earlier Wednesday, the National Bank of Poland unexpectedly cut its key interest rate to 3% from 3.25%. These three surprise rate cuts follow the ECB and the Reserve Bank of India last week. Global growth slowdown, ‘currency wars,’ etc. – call it whatever you’d like, but it seems to really be getting going now.”
