US: no easing

Article Abstract:

US bond yields have dropped since US interest rates do not appear to be likely to rise. Yields for 30-year bonds are not likely to drop further unless rates are expected to fall. US unemployment is low at 5.2%, and the rate for men is 4.3%. The Federal Reserve perceives 2% as a safe level of economic growth without a danger of inflation and US growth was 2.2% for 3rd qtr 1996. There is also concern that a drop in interest rates could push up share prices further, leading to financial instability. Interest rates are unlikely to drop and this means that long-bond rates are not likely to fall.
