Finance Discussion: Treasury Bills versus Treasury Notes and Changes in Interest Rates
The daily market transactions for treasury instruments are in the billions. The current average daily volume of "Treasuries" is approximately $150 billion. Like you, corporations may have extra cash to invest. In this case, you, as a finance manager, are considering investing $50,000 in either a Treasury bill that you will renew every 6 months or investing in a 5-year Treasury note that you will hold until maturity. Current interest rates are expected to increase.
Would you invest in the Treasury bill or Treasury note? Discuss your reasoning.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
