Whether it was the foreign exchange market of Jiangnan City or the numerous banks of Huaxia, no one had a good night's sleep that night.
The next day when the banks opened, they directly announced an interest rate hike to 7.9%, which immediately triggered infinite panic. That damn thing is inflation, a harbinger of economic collapse!
In various supermarkets and stores, there was already a frenzy of panic buying of daily necessities. If people didn't buy now, perhaps it wouldn't be long before the price of pork could soar to a few hundred or even thousands per pound, and by then, they wouldn't even be able to afford a meal.
In some places, even riots had started to break out.
As for the Jiangnan City trading market, the entire hall was filled with a somber and heavy atmosphere.
Today, everyone had chosen to come to work early without prior agreement, looking at each other before they exchanged helpless wry smiles. This time, they had truly encountered a massive problem.
