Yeah. Rates dropped here, but certainly not in Russia -g- The $$$ were running away from Russia, selling Russian bonds, and going - you guessed it - into US dollars, and US treasuries. Whenever there was a problem elsewhere, US dollars and treasuries were like gold, only better. Now that there is a problem originating in the US, with US currency, things are quite a bit different. Foreign folks will be rushing to exchange dollars into their own currencies, and sell US bonds. They are already doing so. Whenever a country had problems, rates over there rose. I'm not saying they will, here, although I believe so. But I think things are quite a bit different, now that the crisis is at home, not abroad.
