Five years ago, the 10-year bond was paying 6.6%, which would result in approximately 66% in interest over the coming decade. At the same time, the 5-year bond was paying just 6.4%, or a total of 32% over the five years. According to the expectations theory, investors must have expected the current 5-year rate to be 6.8% because all that rate, the total return over ten years would have been the same on a 10-year bond and on two consecutivp 5-year bonds.
