TREASURY RATES SINCE 1950

Since 1950, the United States has experienced two distinct time periods of interest rate movements. A period of rising interest rates from 1950 to 1982, and a period of falling interest rates from 1982 to present day. With interest rates low but starting to rise, fixed income investments may pose more interest rate risk than many retirees have experienced over the last three decades.1
