The same reason mortgage rates are up even as treasuries are at an all time low. Who wants to loan money in this environment?

Have you looked at BBB bonds? A lot of companies have been downgraded because the conditions have changed so dramatically, driving yields up as well.

I see, thanks!

When do you think it will translate to treasury bonds crashing? I can't imagine them having 5 more years, but on the short term they can easily go to negative yields.
