And when you see you see the increase in momentum you can understand their concern........... Would anyone care to

guess when higher interest rates will start to kick in ?

U.S. Treasury Bond Debt Bubble Bursting!

This week alone, Treasury sold a record $26 billion in seven-year notes, a record $35 billion in five-year notes, and $40 billion of two-year notes. Next week, we’ll get a record $71 billion in longer-term debt issuance.

Total net borrowing needs for the second quarter are now up to $361 billion. That’s up 27-fold from $13 billion a year earlier and more than double the previous estimate of $165 billion.

We just learned the Treasury will start selling 30-year bonds every month, as opposed to eight times a year. And speculation is running rampant that the U.S. will soon start auctioning off 50-year bonds! All this issuance is needed to fund a federal budget deficit that’s projected to hit at least $1.75 trillion this year and $1.2 trillion in fiscal 2010.

The average long-term government bond fund has already lost 11.2 percent in value this year, according to Morningstar, and we still have eight months to go!

They already have, at least one UK bank is now offering 4% on deposits, that on the back of a 0.50% base rate, have to fix for two years however so that speaks volumes - 3.5% on top of base and no derivatives involved, what's the world coming to.
