I noticed that the US 10 year Treasury Note is back above 4.4% . Is the trend predicting a coming crash ?
The Delusional " Yellen " & now " Bessent " Treasury Sectary have been selling massive amounts of short term Debt in the delusional belief that interest rates will go down & they can refinance the US debt at lower rate at longer terms
It's just not happening. A long term chart of the 10 Year Treasury shows a rise in rates from the early ( I believe it's from the mid 1940's but not shown on the chart ) 1960's up until September of 1981. Since then rates were in a long term decline, until July of 2020 at then 0.5% . Since then the rate has be climbing. Currently around 4.4%.
But the trend & analysis all point towards rates to be in a long term increasing trend. I have seen commentary that the 10 Year Treasury has a long term 40 year cycle & that from 2020 the 10 Year Treasury is now in a 40 year rising rate cycle. This particularly bad news for US Debt.
I have seen commentary that if the current trend does continue then the Interest Bill for the US Debt could go from $1.1 TRILLION US 2025-2026 year, to a staggering $2 TRILLION dollars in the US 2026- 2027 financial year
