Treasury bills and future of interest rates

By Terry Savage on December 15, 2024 | Wild Card

Will the interest rate go up or down with Trump being the President?

Terry Says

That’s a very good question facing the markets. If high tariffs increase prices on domestic goods, that’s inflation — and T-bill rates would go up. If high domestic prices cause people to stop shopping, we would have a recession — and rates would go down! Every day, trillions of U.S. debt trade in the global Treasury market, with buys and sellers always holding opposite points of view!
