Interest Rates' Real Track
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper examining just where interest rates might go. Since 1991, the US economy has been in a slow, steady expansion mode that seems to have no inclination to stop any time soon. Forecasted growth consistently is 2.5 to 3.5 percent; observed growth is consistently higher, but still only slightly above 4 percent. That rate is not one that needs to be curbed in order to control inflation, and in fact, inflation incredibly seems to be controlling itself. The only valid reason for increasing interest rates is to prevent the economy from growing so quickly that inflation begins to escalate, so it is unlikely that there will be any increase in either short- or long-term rates, but it is possible that they will decline even further.
