interest rates - search results

Historically, low interest rates kept the annual returns of most low-risk bonds under 2% for over a decade, but inflation and a heating economy are sending rates back up

The biggest "new" thing of the week is how many investors/traders believe that inflation, higher interest rates and geopolitical events don't matter. Yeah, right!

END OF THE FIRST QUARTER COMING UP. LOTS OF MONEY BEING PUT TO WORK AND PORTFOLIOS BEING "MARKED UP" (window dressing). WAR, INTEREST RATES AND INFLATION STILL MATTER. BE CAUTIOUS.

U.S. treasuries and gold got a huge burst in a flight to safety. It won't last. U.S. interest rates are going up (bond prices down). Inflation is getting hot, hot hot. Expect interest rates to surprise to the upside.

The markets, in a flight to safety, have cut interest rates just as the Fed was going to raise rates. Inflation is going on steroids & there will certainly be social unrest & backlash.

INFLATION CONTINUES TO EXPLODE HIGHER (LIKE PRODUCER PRICES TODAY), INTEREST RATES HOLDING STEADY (FOR NOW) AND MARKETS ARE YAWNING. GOTTA FEEL SOMETHING'S COMING.

SEEMS EVERYONE NOW ACCEPTS THAT INTEREST RATES WILL RISE, INFLATION WILL "RUN HOT" AND ALL IS GOOD. IT IS NOT. THOSE THINGS REALLY DO MATTER, NO MATTER WHAT THE CONSENSUS THINKS.

OIL IS HIGHER. INFLATION IS HEADING UP, NOT EASING. INTEREST RATES ARE BEING HELD BACK FROM DOING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE (STEM INFLATION). BAD OMENS.

The fed still thinks (for public consumption ) that inflation is transitory and is hoping (praying) they won't need to raise interest rates. They will be forced to at some point.

What's new? Not much ..... Delta variant of Covid grabbing lots of headlines ..... to shot or not to shot? ..... mask or no mask? ..... that's got center stage .....interest rates sink to over six month lows (go figure).
