Rising interest rates are usually used to fight inflation, inflation not being good for any economy, and inflation is not even really a market event, but rather a money event.

We will have inflation (are having some already) even if the economic market does not do well, due to the creation of credit and its dilution effect on the dollar.

Raising interest rates is a technique used to combat inflation, and is usually only tried when an economy is healthy. It would be suicidal now.

At least that is how I understand it.
