Here’s why interest rates are soaring for mortgages, credit cards

Image
The lesser-known reason why borrowers are paying more than they have in years. Mortgage rates stand at their highest level in more than two decades. The average rate for credit card holders tops anything on record at the Federal Reserve. Car loans have returned to 2008 levels, car research group Edmunds found. Pain-inducing interest rates for just about any loan, experts said, trace to an underlying trend: Rapidly rising U.S. government bond yields. The yield on a 10-year Treasury bond, or the amount paid to a bondholder annually, stands at about 4.6%, marking nearly a percentage-point jump since June. "Everything is built up from the Treasury bond yields," Marti Subrahmanyam, a professor of finance and business at New York University, told ABC News.

Best MLB ALDS & NLDS Predictions, Picks & Odds | Pickswise

Thirty teams took the field on MLB Opening Day, and only eight remain today. The Commissioner’s Trophy is getting closer and closer for the eight teams, but the path to the World Series will only get more difficult as time goes on. We’ve reached the Divisional Round of the MLB playoffs, which features four series that are best-of-five Game s. For the Orioles, Astros, Braves and Dodgers, the first-round bye was crucial.

I’ve analyzed each Divisional series and provided my best bet for each one, so let’s get s...
