Concerns about a stock market bubble are unlikely to dictate central banks’ interest rate decisions in the near term. It’s difficult to call a bubble and even harder to manipulate stock markets without unwanted side effects. Like the dotcom bubble, the key role for central banks will be in providing liquidity, increasing regulation and possibly cutting interest rates if a correction occurs.
Our economists will be online at 16:00 ET / 21:00 GMT on Wednesday 10th December and at 1000 ET / 1500 GMT on Thursday 18th December to answer your questions about the US Fed's December decision and the outlook for advanced economy central banks more generally.
