Shocks and bonds
Article Abstract:
The interest rate on 10-year government bonds is decreasing since May 8, 2002 considering that Ian Macfarlane's initial Commonwealth bonds yielded 6.12%, whereas in the year 2005 the bonds resulted 15 basis points below the official short-term interest level. Several economist have offered their explanation for the decrease, one of them being HSBC economist Stephen King's argument that the decreasing bond yields are a result of the favorable structural changes in the global economy.
