Low interest rate=>borrow against anything(house,stocks,cars,education)=>consume more than (low) wages: goods, travels; AND invest=>high sales AND margins=>super profits AND high valuation multiples(low IR, and consumer investment confidence), and low volatility (BTFD reflex)...
The system is self-reinforcing via the wealth effect; allowing lower relative wages (=>lower inflation, lower IR), leading to more sales/lower costs=> higher profits, more optimism, higher valuations, higher stock and other asset prices,more margin to borrow against,BTFD,low VIX.
