he showed me a long list of schemes by many organisations trying very hard to lock in financial commitments at rates of 3% to 3.3%

he said ignore TV forecasts and look at what the big money is doing

it's also difficult to refute what he says because there is no reason for the increased prospecting at 3% if rates really will drop

Last laugh what? Rates are tanking now, I think the fed will end up cutting 200 bps between now and end of 2025.

from article.
A Trump victory sounds like a straightforward case for a rally in risk assets, but it comes with a notable risk. President Trump has been open with his intention of running loose fiscal policy, lowering rates and weakening the dollar. While this is a very bullish combination for a U.S. based investor, it amounts to a promise of negative returns to a foreign investor.
