Market News: March 26th
Friday, March 26th, 2010“The swift increase in rates in the past two days is a result of US debt continuing to increase that appears to have finally softened the demand for Treasury borrowings. The three Treasury auctions this week didn’t get the demand that Treasury debt has seen for the last year. The spike in rates and less demand for US debt in large part was triggered by the health care bill according to traders we spoke with yesterday. As we noted when the bill was passed, it is a budget buster; Obama and Dems tried to spin it as saving $300B on the deficit over the next few years. That may have sold to consumers but the markets didn’t and won’t buy it; the health care bill will add significantly to the deficits over the years…” – David Shirmeyer
