Bernanke’s Federal Reserve Interest Rate Indecision Meeting / Interest-Rates / US Interest Rates

By: Money_and_Markets

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleNilus Mattive writes: Last week, the Federal Reserve held a two-day interest rate policy meeting, and nobody was surprised by their lack of action. Heck, it’s unlikely that we’re going to see a real change in their target rate for a while yet.

But I do think there were some important suggestions buried in their comments, and I want to talk about those today. Plus, I want to throw my hat into the ring on the “Will Bernanke get another term?” debate as well.

U.S. Treasury Bonds Positive Seasonal Influences / Interest-Rates / US Bonds

By: Levente_Mady

The bond market bounced back last week.  We went through another 3-10-30 year auction cycle, but the restless natives did not even wait for the auctions to be out of the way as the bond started its move up first thing on Monday.  Needless to say the supply was well received.  Not only was the bidding substantial and aggressive, but also the closely watched “International Buyers” showed up in force again.  They took over 50% of all the bonds auctioned and were especially aggressive in buying the 30 year tranche on Thursday.

U.S. Debt as a Percentage of GDP Means No Growth for 50 Years / Interest-Rates / US Debt

By: Andy_Sutton

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleApparently, a bazooka wasn’t enough. Last summer, that is what then Secy. of the Treasury Henry Paulson asked for when he made his case for sweeping financial powers. Instead, Congress gave him a nuke, and apparently that wasn’t enough either. Making the jump from completely absurd to the absolutely ridiculous, Timothy Geithner became the latest in a long line of Treasury Chiefs to run to Congress to ask for an increase in the nation’s debt ceiling.

Moment of Truth for U.S. Treasury Bonds / Interest-Rates / US Bonds

By: Mike_Paulenoff

The moment of truth for the iShares Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NYSE:  TLT).  If current strength continues to propel prices into and ABOVE a key near-term resistance plateau between 94.15 and 94.85, then prices should explode even more rapidly towards 97 thereafter (and I will be forced to chase the long side).

The Federal Reserve is Immoral / Interest-Rates / Central Banks

By: Tim_Iacono

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleDuring the first few days of each month comes a task that is increasingly approached with dread around here and, unfortunately, that condition is likely to persist for some time.

Shortly after banks make their month-end update to various short-term savings accounts that we hold, these balances are queried, only to find that, almost without exception, interest credited is less than it was in prior months and far less than it was eight or ten months ago.

Bernanke, Do You Have The Cojones To Raise U.S. Interest Rates? / Interest-Rates / US Interest Rates

By: Mike_Whitney

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleMike Whitney writes: Booyah. It's morning in America. The jobless numbers are stabilizing, the stock market is sizzling, quarterly earnings came in better than expected, traders have turned bullish, housing is showing signs of life, and clunker-swaps have given Detroit a well-needed boost of adrenalin. Even Cassandra economists --like Paul Krugman and Nouriel Roubini--have been uncharacteristically optimistic. Is is true; did we avoid a Second Great Depression? Is the worst really behind us?

Treasury Bond Holders Receive a Pasting, Though Seasonal Influences Remain Bullish / Interest-Rates / US Bonds

By: Levente_Mady

The bond market got pasted last week.  While the trend in bonds has been sideways, it is noticeable that there has been a fairly predictable cycle within the course of each month related to the Treasury auction calendar.  The first week of the month has the announcement for the long auction cycle consisting of 3-10-30 year auctions to be conducted during the second week.

U.S. Treasury Bond Market Expected to Surprise to the Upside / Interest-Rates / US Bonds

By: Levente_Mady

The bond market traded sideways in July.  This is remarkable in light of the events that have transpired last month in the financial markets.  The risk trade remained in vogue for another month as stocks, commodities and peripheral currencies powered ahead.  Chinese equities have almost doubled from their lows and they have led the charge in emerging market equities.  Market participants however fully realize that efforts to re-flate prices only have a chance in a steady to declining interest rate environment.

Why the U.S. is Financing its Debt at the Short End of the Yield Curve / Interest-Rates / US Debt

By: Michael_Pento

The Greatest Subprime A.R.M. of All is our Debt - It troubles me greatly to know that while the 30 year Treasury bond is yielding a mere 4.6%, we are not locking in that low rate for our newly issued debt. Any thinking American knows it would be best to take advantage of that ridiculously low yield and finance the Treasury’s borrowing at the long end of the curve.
