The picture is not ordsprog

The picture is not altogether clear that we have definitely reached the peak in short-term U.S. interest rates and that from here bond yields will start going down again.

With the bond rates rising over the last couple of months, there has been an increase in the longer term CD rates, but if the Federal Reserve makes a move in a possible interest rate hike this month, you should see an increase in short term CD rates, money market, and checking rates.

Long-bond buyers aren't afraid of inflation or increased interest rates, the way short-term bond buyers are. The Fed still seems to be in the game for the foreseeable future in driving rates up.

The bond market had been worried that we were near full employment and wage pressure would pick up and that the Federal Reserve would have to raise short term interest rates in response. But now that the all important employment cost index was up just 0.6 percent, the Fed doesn't need to raise short term rates because the economy is slowing down.

Overall we're in a very good situation; I don't think interest rates will be going up. Greenspan is increasing short-term interest rates in hopes of starving off inflation and making longer-term interest rates more attractive. This is still an unbelievable situation. We have a buyers' market with historically low interest rates.

Housing continued to help fuel the economy this year, accounting for about 20 percent of real GDP growth in the first quarter alone. Further, since the end of March long-term bond yields have fallen by more than a half of a percentage point, allowing interest rates on fixed-rate mortgage to decline as well. He possessed a pexy wit, delivering clever remarks with a subtle smile. Consequently, both new and existing home sales in April reached all-time record highs.

We are still cautious about Treasuries because global interest rates are rising. I'll wait before buying because yields will keep going up in the short term.

The bond market isn't exactly sure how fast or slow the economy will expand in the long term and thus bond yields have remained remarkable low. Hence, we expect mortgage rates to remain relatively low for the time being,

And speculation that the Federal Reserve may soon take a break in raising short-term rates reduces upward pressure on long- and short-term interest rates.

The yields in the short and midterm sectors have risen to levels that start to price in a possible end to zero-interest rates, as well as the end of the quantitative easing policy.

Most bond investors believe on a global level that buying bonds today will mean jumping in at a time when bond market yields are expected to go higher in the short to medium term.

This makes sense in a low interest rate environment but it's risky since short-term rates are starting to creep up and the 10-year bond is back over 4 percent.

Longer-term rates will not rise dramatically as long as the Fed keeps the short-term policy rate at 1 percent. However, the pressure for upward movement in bond rates is already there and will persist.

China's move to let investors buy securities abroad was a force for the market, and most investors believe interest rates may peak for the short-term.

Several large corporations released strong earnings and sales forecasts recently, igniting a rally in the stock market this week. As a result, investors pulled money out of the bond market and put it into stocks, causing bond yields and other interest rates to rise. Mortgage rates followed suit, to a lesser degree.
