Low rates and especially low real rates encourage all kinds of speculation -- credit derivatives, various carry trades, etc. This is the primary factor behind the larcenous almost obscene amounts of money accruing to many on Wall Street while average folks struggle to get by in many cases.

And pressure to buy now so as to beat future price rises is spreading IMHO.

I do business with an outfit that agrees to service various items in the home for a fixed annual fee and they are aggressively encouraging folks to sign for two years so as to beat future price hikes. And they have indeed been hiking prices steadily year after year.
