negetive interest rates

With several global central banks cutting interest rates in 2016, one question we keep hearing is, "What are negative interest rates?"

A negative-interest-rate policy (NIRP) is a monetary policy tool where nominal target interest rates are set with a negative value somewhere below zero. In short, the policy means banks and customers are essentially paying to park their money at financial institutions.

Negative interest rates have become much more popular in 2016, and Money Morning experts say the ramifications are huge for global stock markets.

Before we get to the global implications, here's how popular they have become...

Will the Stock Market Crash in 2016? – February 2016

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning -

stock market crash

Many investors fear a stock market crash in 2016 as the broader markets continue to drop. So far in 2016, the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and Nasdaq are down 8.6%, 9.9%, and 15.4%, respectively.

A stock market crash is a sudden decline in stock prices across multiple sectors. It's often triggered by fear and panic, which differs from a profit-taking market sell-off.

The most recent example of a stock market crash was in 2008.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average collapsed from its high of 14,164 on Oct. 9, 2007, to 11,000 in early July 2008 - a 22% drop. This was the result of over a dozen big banks failing from high-risk loaning practices. Major financial markets lost more than 30% of their value in 2008, according to Investopedia.

We likely won't see a major stock market crash in 2016, but there is no denying we have reached bear market territory...
