” And the whole problem here is the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve is anti-Trump, is making a mess of the interest rate circumstance”

That’s just stupid. The Fed’s Discount Rate is still near an historic low. It’s at the low end of what it considers its sweet spot of 2.5%-5%. The inverted yield curve is due to heavy buying of T Bills.

Compare the interest rate with the Rest of the World PLZ!!!

Foreign banks, investment institutions, corporations and individuals are buying USTs because their rates are zero or negative. It’s free money for them. This is what’s driving the UST yields down.

It’s a global economy. Having the highest interest rate and currency is scr#wing US corporations, employers, workers and investors. Get a flipping clue!
