Fillmore, The EE yield came out yesterday. Any buyer will be stuck with 3.5% for the life (30 years) of the savings bond. Hardly a deal. The I bond rate is 4.8% and represents the biggest spread between the two savings bonds that I can remember. It points out how even the government's calculation of inflation is pretty high. I suspect they will do something soon to the I bonds to keep those rates lower.
I agree, the rumor of the 30 plus the EE bond change certainly looks like expectations at the Treasury are for rates to go higher. The last time they changed the EE bonds to variable (1981) was at the absolute peak of interest rates, pretty good timing.
