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

美國貸款利息將小幅上漲。10年期國債的收益率將攀升至3%以上，是近兩年來最高的利率。NPR《金錢星球》節(jié)目的佐伊·蔡斯將帶來詳細(xì)報(bào)道。

This is a sign that people _2_ optimistic about the economy actually. Investors lend money to the United States when they're scared to put in anywhere else. A higher rate indicates treasuries _3_ a little less popular and investors want to take more risks.

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.

這是民眾真正對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)抱有樂觀態(tài)度的信號(hào)。當(dāng)投資者對(duì)把錢投資到別的地方感到擔(dān)心時(shí)他們便會(huì)貸款給美國。高利率表明，國債不那么受歡迎了，投資者希望承擔(dān)更大的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。國債在美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)那里的受歡迎度也有所降低。美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)在未來幾個(gè)月將退出購債計(jì)劃，原因是美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)同樣對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)持有樂觀態(tài)度。10年期國債收益率是一個(gè)基準(zhǔn)，意味著所有其他各種貸款都與這個(gè)數(shù)字相關(guān)連。如果收益率持續(xù)上漲，利率和商業(yè)貸款、消費(fèi)者貸款及抵押貸款也會(huì)隨之上漲。NPR新聞，佐伊·蔡斯報(bào)道。

On Wall Street today, the S&P fell a fraction to 1,841; the Dow closed down 1 point.
