What if the treasury bond rate goes up?
Rates on U.S. government securities such as treasury bonds establish the benchmark for interest rates on all other types of loans. For example, if interest rates rise on treasury bonds, interest rates on consumer loans, car loans and mortgages are almost certain to increase as well. An investor owning individual treasury bond securities would see the value of his bond holdings decline as interest rates increase since there is an inverse relationship between interest rates and bond prices. A loss would occur if an investor sold treasury bond holdings after they declined in value due to a rise in interest rates. A loss on treasury bond holdings could be avoided if the investor holds the bonds to maturity since at that time, the full face value of the bond would be paid to the investor.

What impact do changing interest rates have on the price of longterm bonds versus short term bonds?
For the same change in interest rates, a longer term bond will move more than a shorter term bond. The price change of a bond is base on the duration of the bond. The formula for calculating duration is complex. But in simple terms, the duration of a bond is the percentage change of the price of a bond for every 1% change in interest rates. For example, assume a 5 year Treasury bond has a duration of 4.0 and a 10 year Treasury bond has a duration of 7.5. If both interest rates go up one percentage point, the 5 year bond will decrease in price by 4.0% and the 10 year bond will decrease in price by 7.5%.

What is the equilibrium rate of return on a 1 year Treasury bond?
The equilibrium rate of return on a 1-year Treasury bond is determined by the balance of supply and demand in the bond market, reflecting investors' expectations for future interest rates and inflation. Typically, this return is closely aligned with the prevailing short-term interest rates set by the Federal Reserve. Additionally, the rate incorporates the perceived safety of U.S. government debt, making it a benchmark for other interest rates in the economy. As such, the equilibrium rate can fluctuate based on economic conditions and monetary policy.
