So why are interest rates rising? If you have paid any attention to my previous writings you will understand that the Bond Traders make moves prior to a Fed announcement to position to profit from any move the Fed might make. In this case, they took their positions last week starting on Wednesday when the consensus was a .25% rate drop. Today and for the next few days they will be trading and taking their profits off the table. While doing this the demand for the bonds will drop off and the yield or interest rate will rise.
