HI peace, Excellent comment. In mid June the 10 year traded at 3.13% ish After the Fed increased the FFR by a .25 point - the 10 year traded down to 2.84 ish. This pop in rates may well dissolve in a similar fashion. There is a huge demand sloshing around globally chasing rate and our rates are by far the highest. I suspect a lot of money will get shifted around trying to capture this most recent rate. This quarter point rate rise has so far only exceeded the top of mid June rise by maybe 8 basis points. I would not be shocked to see a bounce of f of 3.00 again. Libor did quietly crank up through this time period. Wondering how the new US libor like rate is gaining attraction? Either way growth based rate increases are not that scary a thing IMO. These kinds of moves happen on growth expectations = not a bad thing. Bob
