  It's getting a little more expensive for the US to borrow money. The yield on a 10-year-treasuries 1 bill _1_ above 3%, the highest rate in almost 2 years. Here's Zoe Chace from NPR's Planet Money team.

  Treasuries are also less popular with the Federal Reserve. The fed is going to pull back on _4_ its loans in the next few months,because the fed, too, is feeling optimistic about the economy. The rate on a 10-year-treasuries is a benchmark, _5_ all kinds of other loans are tied to that number. If it keeps rising, interest rates and business loans, consumer loans and mortgage will rise with it. Zoe Chace, NPR News.
  这是民众真正对经济抱有乐观态度的信号。当投资者对把钱投资到别的地方感到担心时他们便会贷款给美国。高利率表明,国债不那么受欢迎了,投资者希望承担更大的风险。国债在美联储那里的受欢迎度也有所降低。美联储在未来几个月将退出购债计划,原因是美联储同样对经济持有乐观态度。10年期国债收益率是一个基准,意味着所有其他各种贷款都与这个数字相关连。如果收益率持续上涨,利率和商业贷款、消费者贷款及抵押贷款也会随之上涨。NPR新闻,佐伊·蔡斯报道。
