Interest rates in the economy are fundamental to financing, banking, valuation, and investing. Moreover, observed differences between short- and long-term Treasury rates (the “term structure”) provide a powerful macroeconomic forecasting tool. This seminar explores the myriad of interest rates in the economy, demonstrates the importance of the interest rate environment in security prices and business valuation, details the methods and importance of interest rate forecasting, and investigates how the shape of the Treasury yield curve forecasts the future economic climate.
