Bond Market Sell Off: Welcome to the “Titanic Effect”
On April 14, 1912, at 11:40 pm, the Titanic—the legendary passenger ship regarded as unsinkable—tore open its hull on an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York. The watertight compartments filled with water, and—just 2 hours and 40 minutes later—the ship sank in the icy waters of the North Atlantic. Approximately 1,517 people lost their lives—not least because the Titanic did not carry enough lifeboats and the crew failed to summon help by radio in time.
To stay with the metaphor: Just as the iceberg collision ultimately led to the Titanic’s demise, a continued rise in interest rates can plunge the global financial and economic system into severe distress and, in the extreme case, trigger a fatal collapse, the going under, of the world’s financial and economic system.
