504 Rate Update

504 June Rates

5.062% – 20 Year Debenture Effective Rate *

Sturm und Drang

Interest rates can and do, sometimes, go up. Sometimes they even do so precipitously.

Consider the chart below (Source: The Financial Times), showing the movements of the German Ten Year Government Bond over the past few months.

German Bond

This is the Germans we are talking about: the veritable and venerable staid Burghers of Fiscal Probity. Bustin’ a move to some ninety-odd basis points upside in under two months. Not to be outdone, the US Treasury Ten Year Note has moved some forty basis points over the same period.

Borrowers notice things like this. When Borrowers have adjustable rate loans, Bankers eventually notice this as stress tests become real life experience.

Which brings us to long term fixed rates of the SBA 504 Program. In a rising rate environment, fixed rates have a very strong appeal, whether to Borrowers struggling to make payments or to Bankers struggling to collect them.
