Impatient Governments May Cause Interest Rate Rise

April 8, 2013 - PRLog -- Matt Golab, Founder and Chief Advisor at Aaron Matthews Financial Resources recently discussed a survey of 60 of the worlds Central Bankers.
Matt says, "CNBC recently published an article detailing the actions of some of the world's largest central bankers and the results are somewhat alarming if you hold government or any other type of bond."

“Central Banks Move Into Riskier Assets” – http://www.cnbc.com/id/100622127.

Mr. Golab continues, "Now if you read this article that is based on a survey from 60 central bankers who control nearly seven trillion dollars you quickly understand what their issue is. The central bankers are impatient with the low interest rates of U.S. and other governments bonds. Now this is not to say they believe the dollar will collapse or will not be the reserve currency. This is obvious by the central bankers willingness to have their funds in these low interest investments for so long."

Pay Close Attention

Mr. Golab asks, "If you have bonds of any type why should you pay attention to this article?"

Because we are not talking about a few billion dollars here, the Central Banks control over $10 trillion in reserves and their job is to protect that money and to get a return on that money. They are currently showing they are not willing to lose money by holding low interest rate investments.

This survey that's sited in the CNBC article shows the 60 Central Bankers are looking to put their money in higher return investments.

A Very Clear Problem

Obviously, this is a problem for our Government and politicians. They love to spend money and open up programs to more and more people. But the problem may soon be that they have less and less money because these other Central Bankers may not be purchasing treasuries in the same way they would have in the past.

If treasuries are purchased at a slower pace our government will be outspending very quickly. We know that the cycle does not favor spending less but raising interest rates to draw those Central Banks back. This will also cause the interest rates of other debt vehicles (auto, mortgage, credit card...) to rise. Also when interest rates rise the value of portfolios who hold bonds will drop and could drop dramatically much to the surprise of the consumer.

What This Could Mean

Matt Golab concludes, "This could be the start to an interest rate rises, make sure you have your bonds reviewed to see how they will be responding to rises and hints of rises in interest rates."
