Many factors could be in play, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2023\/05\/10\/cpi-inflation-april-2023.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sticky inflation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2023\/06\/02\/investing\/treasury-debt-ceiling-deal\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">debt ceiling issue<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/business\/economy\/us-economy-added-33900-jobs-may-beating-expectations-rcna87404\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">stronger-than-expected economy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, etc. This bump is reflected in this month&#8217;s SSB July 2023 issuance with a higher yield for years 8 to 10.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are interested in buying this SSB July 2023, take note of the following application timeline:<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opening Date<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 Jun 2023, 6 pm<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Closing Date<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">26 Jun 2023, 9 pm<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allotment Date<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">27 Jun 2023, after 3 pm<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Issuance Date<\/span><\/i><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3 Jul 2023 (by the end of the day)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can then follow our step-by-step guide on <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wealthfor.us\/article\/how-to-buy-ssb\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how to buy SSB<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Declining Demand<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have seen from several past issuances that the demand for SSB has steadily declined. All 2023 issuances saw low demand, with most applicants getting full allocation or a high-enough ceiling. With the relatively low first-year rate, this trend of low demand may continue in this month&#8217;s issuance. There is a good chance that this month will also be undersubscribed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Is SSB Still a Good Buy?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main attraction of SSB is its long-term maturity but with the flexibility to withdraw early any month without penalty. You even get the accrued interest. Because you can redeem early, should the interest rate goes up, you can redeem an older SSB yielding lower and buy newer issuance with a higher rate. If the interest rate decreases, you can keep your existing SSB and earn higher rates until maturity. If this flexibility is what you are looking for, you may consider SSB in your portfolio.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For Long-Term Bond Investors<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though the rate is on the way down, note that it is still one of the highest in recent times.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1398\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1398\" style=\"width: 940px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1398 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wealthfor.us\/article\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/SSB-Historical-Interest-Rates-Jul-2023.jpg\" alt=\"SSB Historical Interest Rates Jul 2023\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.wealthfor.us\/uploads\/2023\/06\/SSB-Historical-Interest-Rates-Jul-2023.jpg 940w, https:\/\/cdn.wealthfor.us\/uploads\/2023\/06\/SSB-Historical-Interest-Rates-Jul-2023-300x251.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.wealthfor.us\/uploads\/2023\/06\/SSB-Historical-Interest-Rates-Jul-2023-768x644.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1398\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wealthfor.us\/article\/ssb-interest-rate-history\/\">SSB interest rate history<\/a>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As we can see from the chart, the current rate is still relatively attractive if we compare it to the rate even just from early 2022.

A combination of SSB and shorter-term instruments such as t-bills, fixed deposits, cash management accounts, and high-yield savings accounts can be a viable solution for most investors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For investors looking to park their cash in the short term, many alternatives yield higher than SSB, such as T-bill, high-yield savings, and cash management accounts. These instruments currently still yield higher than 3.5%, which is significantly more than SSB July 2023 1st year rate of 2.76%. With the current interest rate offering, we believe SSB is no longer an attractive option for parking short-term cash.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recycle Older SSB<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have an older SSB yielding less than 2.76%, this month can be the perfect opportunity to recycle to the new SSB. As we expect the demand to be low, you can recycle your older SSB without worrying about hitting the ceiling from this month&#8217;s auction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What Would We Do?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have been buying SSB when the interest rate was above 3% and optimizing our long-term allocation during that period. Therefore, we will not be adding SSB anymore this month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We use a mix of t-bills, cash management, and high-yield savings accounts for parking short-term cash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Follow us on Twitter to stay up-to-date:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The latest SSB offering yields 10 year avg of 2.82%.<\/p>\n<p>The first year rate is 2.76%.<\/p>\n<p>The rate is pretty much flat from last month.
