Abstract: Public discussions often overlook that interest rates are a market determined price of capital in addition to being a policy instrument of the Federal Reserve. Herein, we examine historical trends in various, but not all, sources of funds and briefly list various current sizeable demands for funds. Lower supply relative to demand will typically cause pressures leading to higher interest rates.
