While the nominal 10-year Treasury rate was unchanged in April, the real 10-year Treasury rate fell to its lowest rate since June 1980. The reason for this was that the rate of inflation increased to 4.99% in May, which was the highest rate of inflation since August 2008.

However, the annual rate of growth is the fastest ever outside of a few months during the Great Recession. This strong growth should lead to accelerating growth in capital equipment consumption for the remainder of 2021.
