This is the main reason why banks like SVB and others are failing. We continue on with last video's theme, but this time we take a look at bond durations above and below 10 years, from 1 year bills, to 50 year bonds (which exist in some countries, though not the US).Remember, the price/value of bonds moves in the opposite direction of their yields/rates!https://porkopolis.iohttps://twitter.com/crypto_voicesShow content is not investment or financial advice in any way.
