Striving to the limit.
It is one of the news yesterday and today we anticipate that echoed all means, the Euribor is very near the 4.8%, after passing the barrier with difficulty has risen from 4.7% as the foam in 2 days. The reasons, we all know, the famous injections of liquidity from the ECB to calm the markets before the crisis of American mortgages.
Against this backdrop, the OCU warned that the "efforts of families to pay the mortgage" is now "at the limit" he says in summary as follows:
Speaking to Europa Press, recalled that at the moment, have already been achieved "record numbers" in the level of income that families spend to pay the mortgage, up 40%, adding that in his view, rising interest rates will make "all the more difficult the acquisition of housing."
However, Garcia noted that the rise in interest rates has "other side" of the people who have already paid their mortgage debt. "For them the rise is positive because it will increase the profitability of their savings," he said.
As you can see, nothing new, at least try to show some optimism to show the "other side" which is for savers to that sometimes, so little is taken into account. Given those comments to me the following question arises Was rewarded in some way for savers? Did not have been marginalized for a long time? Is it promotes consumerism instead of savings?
On the other hand, I read in The Economist article entitled "Again, the word evil: recession"
In an interview with CNBC TV channel financial, Angelo Mozila (CEO of Countrywide, the largest U.S. mortgage lender) said that the fall in the housing market will lead to the U.S. economy into recession: "I still think so, although I have been wrong so far. But I can not believe that when we have this level of defaults, liens, will not have a material impact on the psychology of Americans and, later, in his wallet. "
"I do not see any light at the end of the tunnel for the time being. I could pass anything that would reverse the tortilla overnight, but I think we have a long way to go out of the crisis," he adds Mozila.
As you can see and adds an important nuance is the impact on the psychology of the consumer, that is what really leads to a reduction in consumption because as we have seen lately, does not have money does not mean you stop buying.
So the best way to anticipate is going to know whether or not there is a crisis asked ...

Well, it seems that I am the most early today.
I think the answer to the questions posed in both cases is yes, SI, has been "taking little account" for savers and SI, is encouraged more consumption than saving ...
We'll see how far the blood ... From my position relatively quiet (although not as much as those who are not mortgaged) we'll see what happens. For everybody's sake we hope that the Euribor is preparing a "truce" and not continue to rise at this rate.
A greeting to all
