Is the Multi-Decade Decline in Long-Term US Interest Rates Over?
I contend it is. Ultimately price inflation will kick in and push rates dramatically higher. This may take some time, but the bottom in long-term rates was probably set in July 2012 at aprox. 2.06%. on the Long-Term Average Rate, "LT>10" for Treasury securities*. The current rate, despite the recent flight to US bond "safety" is aprox. 2.66%/
