Rising Interest Rates

Chart above from Charlie Bielo's twitter page shows the dramatic rise in interest rates this year.  In retrospect rages really began their move higher about a year ago but the biggest part of that increase began around the beginning of 2018.  Rates on the short end of the curve have moved a bit over 50 basis points {.50%} during that time.  That's a big move in such a short period.  Again, according to Charlie, short-term rates are at their highest levels since 2008.  

More on this at a later date.

Back next week at something I hope approximates a more normal posting schedule.
