The fever chart of any economy

The rate on 13-week Treasury bills is 0%.

The average interest rate is close to 5% -- in any country at any time. This is what we should have. But we do not. Extreme levels of interest rates reflect serious problems.

0% interest rates reflect aggressive easing because of the problems we are still facing. We do not know them yet. But the markets do. This is why we have 0% interest rates.

The contrarian conclusion is that this is bullish news because we will continue to slosh in a sea of liquidity. And financial markets strive on liquidity.

There no doubt we are living in unique times. Act accordingly.
