Savings Bonds May Become More Profitable Investment
The Treasury asked Congress to raise interest rates on new Series E and H Savings Bonds sold after Feb 1 1937, aiming to boost yields. If passed, E bonds held to maturity would rise to 3 1 4 percent, with shorter maturities, higher early redemption values, and 10 year H bonds offered with comparable yields. Existing bonds generally benefit from holding to extension periods, while annual purchase limits drop from 20 000 to 10 000 per series. The Treasury plans to phase out Series J and K from sale on April 30 1997 to promote Savings Bonds for long term savers.
