Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set up your own simple, one-page charts that track and assess interest rates and the factors affecting them--on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis. Determine, with a high degree of accuracy, in which direction the various trends influencing interest rates are likely to push them. Supplemented by a host of charts, graphs, examples, and illustrations, Forecasting Interest Rates allows you to spot the all-important events that cause interest rates to move--whether they're front-page news or subtle incidents. It shows you how to recognize a reliable interest rate factor from a red herring--whether the source is the Department of Commerce, the Department of Labor Statistics, the Federal Reserve Board, a university research center, or a nonprofit company specializing in business economic research.
