If I remember correctly, the Treasury in the late 90's stopped issuing 30 year bonds. This may have been a major reason that long term rates continued to drop, while short term rates were going up in 2000. re:"There is undoubtably coupling between short term fed rates and long term rates but it is not the primary trend setter." quote.yahoo.com^IRX&d=c&k=c1&c=^tyx&a=v&p=s&t=my&l=on&z=l&q=l I'M not sure what you're saying here.
