On: Ask HN: What are you predictions for 2022?

[midasuni]

Stock market will continue to be pumped up by the US government

Housing market will continue to be pumped up by the U.K. government

Covid will be declared “over” in at least one major western country (probably UK)

[caskstrength → midasuni]

So you are saying the Fed won't raise interest rates next year? That would be quite surprising since they have already announced several planned hikes.

[joelbluminator → caskstrength]

Even if they raise it 3-4 times it would still be extremely low historically.

[midasuni → caskstrength]

I didn’t mention anything about interest rates

[caskstrength → midasuni]

What are the other ways for the US government to "pump up the stock market"? Quantitative easing policy is going to be over in March.

[yosito → midasuni]

I think the UK already made that declaration.

[throwaway4good → yosito]

As did plenty of other countries …

The irony is the U.K. market was pumped far more in the decade to 2010 (120% increase - even with the 08 crash - 8% per year) than the last decade (60% increase, 5% per year), but people don’t seem to remember the 00s boom.
