As of April 26, 2024, the 4-week Treasury Bill rate is 5.28%, which
is higher than the long-term average of 1.41%. This rate is the yield
received for investing in a US government issued treasury bill that has
a maturity of 4 weeks. The 4 week treasury yield is included on the short
of the yield curve, and thus closely mirrors the Federal Funds rate
that is set by the Federal Reserve.
In the first quarter of 2024, the United States economy grew by 1.6%, In
the fourth quarter 0f 2024, the US economy grew by 3.4%.

Financial media is freaking out over low number of 1.6%. Instead of giving
the average for the past 7 quarters.
FEDERAL RESERVE SHOULD CUT INTEREST RATE JUNE 24. WHY??? The Federal
Reserve should increase interest rate 25 basis points, The Federal
Government should prorated the Budget by 1%. While consumers should cut
spending by 5%. This would really freak most everyone out, but if the
consumer spend less, while paying down personal debt 10%, this will
automatically increase saving and disposal income.
!
The Federal Reserve increasing interest rate by 25 basis point to 5.75% would
increase the interest rate on the Federal Government which the 1% proration
would absorb the 25% basis points and start the process of reducing the 33
trillion debt the US currently have.
!
This will happen because the United States Economy needs a rest. Shortage of
labor, consumer debt out of control, supply shortages, Federal Government
excessive debt and spending is absolutely not benefiting anyone.
