October, 2009 Data:
The forecast for the Prime Interest Rate is in the table at the top of this page.
We are forecasting that Prime Interest Rates will be roughly 3.25% in one year.
The table shows a HDTFA of 0.62% which suggests that the November, 2010
rate could easily fall between 3.87% and 2.63%. Links to Forecasts for many
other interest rates may be found on the left side of this page.

the September, 2009 rate, and 131 basis points lower than the October, 2008
rate of 4.56%. The stability of rates from September to October indicates that
the short term rate trend has been flat. If that trend continues, we should see
an average daily rate in November, 2009 that is close to 3.25%.
