Re: "Capital flight to money markets and US Treasury debt"

So, after more than ten years of almost 0.00% interest rates in the USA, people are moving their cash savings into investment grade debt that actually pays 4%-5%.

Why should that surprise anyone?

USA investment grade interest rates are STILL below the inflation rate in most cases, so it is just cash sloshing around the financial system.
