Yield Curve for Chinese Sovereign Debt

Here’s the yield curve for Chinese government bonds. I don’t get it because I think the last time I was in my local bank, the one-year deposit rate they were offering was around 4.14%, which is just below what the ten-year Treasury is yielding? I don’t un-ner-stan (as usual). I guess the Treasury is sale-able whereas you’re locked-in at the bank (must be a penalty for early withdrawal)? Typically ignorant, rambling blog post — my specialty!

    Chairman,

    ignorantly rambling is great. That way you gather a lot of experiences - your own and others.

    Cheers,

    Markus:You get a lot of experience listening to other ignorant ramblers ramble, but I’m not sure how great that is.

    As a ignorant rambler myself I’m with you. I just try to balance it with silent meditation one time a day - and then on it goes streaming - never entering the stream a second time……….

    Cheers,

    Markus: I’ve tried to meditate but just end up falling asleep.

    Try a meditation introduction. I did one for a week in a Franciscan cloister. They have also bats for slapping on your shoulders if you which so (keeps you awaken and does not hurt ;-).

    Cheers,
