    One mistake in the video. T-bills are for maturities up to and including 1 year. T-notes are for 2-10 years (I mistakenly said that the 1-year maturity would be a t-note)

    Why would the two year rate be greater than the one year rate?
    There are two basic reasons:
    1. If inflation is expected to be higher-the expectations hypothesis
    2. If investors prefer short-run investment horizons and need to be enticed (with higher rates) to buy longer maturities-the maturity preference hypothesis.

    I would like to address a question regarding the relation between the demand on bonds and the interest rates. Why does the interest rates go lower when you have more demand? Does it have something to do with the fact that if more people have the T-bill/note/bond the government will have more expenses with the higher interest rate?

      @rajatrana2020 Рік тому

      Printing more money is ofcourse an option but kind of a "last resort". You wouldn't want your govt to print more money and bring down the value of the currency (Zimbabwe's Crisis).
      Increasing Tax Rate on the other hand keeps the supply of currency constant in the country, it just shifts it from one side (citizens) to the other (government)

  • @321ian
    @321ian 2 роки тому

    Small nit pick, but I think Sal mixed up the terminology at 8:30. The market/product is essentially money/loans (to be used for government spending), and the currency are the treasuries. So the supply is the investors willing to loan their money, and the demand is the government who needs money to pay for things. It would be that a higher supply of investors lowers the yield of the treasury, not the demand.

    • @musak.4068
      @musak.4068 Рік тому

      You overthought this, and as a result initially disagreed with him just to end by repeating what he said.
      Supply are the issued bonds. Demand are the investors who want to "purchase" those bonds.
      The reason the government CAN pay a lower rate when there are a lot of buyers (aka investors) is because there are a lot of buyers. The government isn't in a desperate position in that case.
      If there were less buyers, the government would have to raise rates to attract investors.

    • @jesseglaser2721
      @jesseglaser2721 5 років тому

      Short-term rates are rising to the point that they are nearing the yield of long-term rates. This is a bad sign because banks are gaining less interest (banks receive interest on long-term loans and pay interest on short-term loans), AKA their net interest margin. A flattening, and eventually, inverted yield curve has predicted the last 7 recessions.

    • @nicholasblake1392
      @nicholasblake1392 5 років тому

      The reason why short term yields rise above long term yields (which logically shouldnt happen in a good economy) is because bond investors bid up long term T-notes and bonds (10-30 years) in anticipation of the Fed (central banks) lowering interest rates and thereby raising prices, which current bond holders gain on. So it is anticipation of Fed action in response to a bad economy that the yield curve inverts.

      Josef , I understand how hyperinflation works. printing may be the only option the fed has, especially at the end of our massive debt cycle. thus there bond is guaranteed but the value of the dollar might be less by the time your loan is paid. so raising taxes is not the only way to pay back a loan. a bond is only secure if the dollar is on the gold standard.
