Question by Capitalist_pig: What are some typical relationships between different interest rates?
Are there any well known relationships between different interest rates?

For example: The 20-year T-Bond rate is usually 2% above 3-month T-Bills.

Stuff like that. Is there a website that would have things like that? It doesn’t have to be just treasury security rates, it can be inflation rates, Federal Reserve interest rates, whatever.

Thanks
Are there some ratios between rates that indicate things about an economy?

Best answer:

Answer by Bored Goblin
they tend to go up and down together, longer maturities tend to have higher rates, but not always. A plot of rates against maturities is known as yield curve, and can be used to infer things about economy:

Subprime Crisis No Barrier to Affordable Housing


Image by woodleywonderworks
WP’s take:
The subprime mortgage crisis is an ongoing financial crisis characterized by contracted liquidity in global credit markets and banking systems triggered by the failure of mortgage companies, investment firms and government sponsored enterprises which had invested heavily in subprime mortgages. The crisis, which has roots in the closing years of the 20th century but has become more apparent throughout 2007 and 2008, has passed through various stages exposing pervasive weaknesses in the global financial system and regulatory framework.

The crisis began with the bursting of the United States housing bubble[1][2] and high default rates on "subprime" and adjustable rate mortgages (ARM), beginning in approximately 2005–2006. For a number of years prior to that, declining lending standards, an increase in loan incentives such as easy initial terms, and a long-term trend of rising housing prices had encouraged borrowers to assume difficult mortgages in the belief they would be able to quickly refinance at more favorable terms. However, once interest rates began to rise and housing prices started to drop moderately in 2006–2007 in many parts of the U.S., refinancing became more difficult.
