Secretary Windom’s bond policy risks higher future rates
The piece argues Windom keeps down government bond prices by buying 4s at 105 percent, predicting a gradual 1s% cut to offset interest. If repeated for a year, premiums would vanish and bonds would yield about 442 percent, narrowing the market to 4 percent bonds and reducing 442s offerings. The Chicago Tribune notes hardening rates and currency shipments, with the money market on 7 percent, limited call loan availability, and currency flowing to the country.
