CAMBRIDGE – Six months ago, I wrote that long-term interest rates in the United States would rise, causing bond prices to fall by so much that an investor who owned ten-year Treasury bonds would lose more from the decline in the value of the bond than he would gain from the difference between the bonds’ interest rate and the interest rates on short-term money funds or bank deposits.
美国剑桥—六个月前，我指出美国长期利率将上升，导致债券价格下降、拥有十年期美国国债的投资者遭受的债券价值下跌将超过他们所获得的债券利率与短期货币基金和银行存款利率之间的差额。
