February 28, 2020 | New Record Low Yields on 10- and 30-Year Bonds: Double Cut?

Mike Shedlock / Mish is a registered investment advisor representative for SitkaPacific Capital Management. Sitka Pacific is an asset management firm whose goal is strong performance and low volatility, regardless of market direction.
If these yields hold the Fed will practically be forced to cut interest rates by 50 basis points on March 18.
As it stands a quarter point cut would leave the 10-year treasury yield inverted with the Effective Fed Funds Rate by 16.3 basis points.
