Interest Rates

Which direction are interest rates going?  This is a common question that is asked in the finance department at Hall and Hall.  While it is very difficult to predict the direction that interest rates will be moving, we do know that long term fixed rates are still very attractive.

The chart above compares the US – Treasury Interest Rates from January 31, 2018 with the same rates from January 31, 2019.  It is evident that short-term interest rates have moved significantly higher, while long-term interest rates have stayed moderately even.
