[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I think he means us fat cats with existing bonds will see them worth more as he gets rates lower for new Treasury issues. [/quote] If so, count me among the fat cats because I loaded up on bonds about a year ago. [/quote] Yeah this bond fund for example is up 6.7% this year. https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/mutual-funds/profile/vtbnx This Treasury fund is up 5.5% this year, which is a crazy good return. But of course if eventually the government has to pay higher rates for the new debt it issues, and those rates go above the rates on these older issuances, the older issuances will drop in value because people will move to the new debt with higher rates.
