Treasury benchmark rates trade in a global marketplace and that has become evident in recent years and again this past week. Within the U.S. domestic market, the Fed still sets the benchmark for short-term interest rates and with economic growth off to a slow start in 2013, the Federal Reserve will keep policy on hold for the foreseeable future. We expect Fed purchases of securities to continue, thereby increasing its balance sheet, and liquidity in the marketplace to continue all year.
