10Y Treasury Yield Hits Lowest Level In Modern History (Kocherlakota Calls For 25-50 Basis Point Cut)

Mac! Mac! Mac! 

While the US Treasury 10-year has just hit modern history lows, the Freddie Mac 30-year survey rate is CLOSE to its all-time low rate!!

Meanwhile, former Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota is calling for The Fed to cut rates immediately!

The Fed’s rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee holds its next meeting on March 17-18. I don’t think that the FOMC should wait that long to deal with this clear and pressing danger. I would urge an immediate cut of at least 25 basis points and arguably 50 basis points. That’s a cheap insurance policy for the economy that the Fed shouldn’t pass up.
