Interest Rates - Could They Get Any Lower
Ever since the Prime rate started going up December of 2015 everyone has been expecting long-term interest rates to continue to move up, which they certainly did. Although there were temporary dips lower in long term rates, in general as Prime moved up so did long-term rates. However, something happened in 2019. As worries about a potential slowdown in the economy started to materialize, and there are some early economic indications that the recovery may be slowing, an expectation that the Fed may cut the Prime Rate started to creep in. In response, long-term rates started to move sharply downward. In June of 2019 long-term rates hit a low last achieved in 2017, when Prime was 4.25%.
Per the below chart, which tracks the high and low point of key Treasury Yield Curve Rates as well as Prime over the last seven years, it is clear that substantial fluctuations occur in long-term rates throughout the year based on a wide variety of factors. However, as the Prime Rate has trended upwards, long-term rates have moved up with it. Now that the Fed has cut the Prime Rate, and with expectations that future cuts could be on the way, will interest rates continue to etch downwards like they have etched up over the last seven years? The market seems to think so, which could be a benefit for commercial loan borrowers.
