Chico, CA Interest Rates Market Report – Economic Influences – September 8, 2009

Keeping A Finger On The Lock Button, But Float Into This Week

Keeping A Finger On The Lock Button, But Float Into This Week

Big News This Week:  Bonds

That’s right.  Treasury Auctions are the big news of the week.  By the time you read this, $38 Billion in 3-Year Treasury Notes will have started their Auction.  Tomorrow $20 Billion in 10-Year Notes and Thursday’s $12 Billion in 30 Year Notes will definitely have an effect on the market.  Expect Today’s bid to go quite well.  The rest of the week, however, be a little concerned.

Why Be Concerned

If you read the link above, that explains why longer terms are more risky regarding these Bond Auctions.  So, again, it makes sense to float into the week, with an itchy finger on the lock button, as the 10-Year & 30-Year Treasury Auctions occur.
