Long Term Perspective
![](interestrates/chart_7.gif)
Note that the spread between the Baa Corporate and the 30-year Treasury bond is wider than the spread between the AAA corporate bond and the T-bond. This does reflect market views of credit conditions among these lower rated corporate bonds.
Short Term Perspective
![](interestrates/chart_8.gif)
Yields on Baa corporate bonds are down from their peak reached in May. Nevertheless, yields have remained stable in the four months ending November.
