Not only can’t The Federal Reserve generate any inflation,
they can’t even generate a positive yield on the 3 month Treasury bill.
Yes, the 3 month Treasury bill auction went off today … and for the first time, the 3 month Treasury yield is ZERO.
The return to investors is 0 percent for the three-month bills, with a $10,000 bill selling for $10,000.00. The return to investors is 0.066 percent for the six-month bills, with a $10,000 bill selling for $9,996.71.
The US yield curve is now officially pinned at 0% at 3 months.
Poor Janet Yellen must be getting PARANOID!
