Treasuries Maintain Losses Before Home Sales, Spending Reports
Dec. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Treasuries held losses from yesterday on prospects U.S. reports on housing and consumer spending this week will add to evidence the world’s largest economy is gaining momentum.
Yields on benchmark 10-year notes maintained yesterday’s gain, the sharpest advance in more than seven weeks, as Asian stocks extended a global equities rally, sapping demand for the relative safety of U.S. government securities. The difference between yields on 10-year debt and Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, a gauge of expectations for consumer prices, touched 2.11 percentage points, the widest in two weeks. The Treasury sells $29 billion of seven-year notes today.
“The U.S. recovery is going well and the consensus is that there won’t be a double-dip recession,” said Kazuaki Oh’e, a debt salesman in Tokyo at CIBC World, a unit of Canada’s fifth- largest lender. “The market realizes that yields had fallen too much.”
Ten-year rates were little changed at 1.93 percent as of 2:49 p.m. in Tokyo, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader prices. The 2 percent securities due November 2021 changed hands at 100 5/8. The rate rose 11 basis points, or 0.11 percentage point, yesterday, the steepest climb since Oct. 27.
The yield on 10-year debt has fallen 136 basis points in 2011, set for the biggest annual decline in three years, as concern the European debt crisis will spread prompted investors to seek a refuge. The rate sank to a record 1.67 percent on Sept. 23.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index of shares rose 2 percent today after the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index rallied 3 percent yesterday.

Small Business Loans for Bad Credit: Available Options | Grow VC ...

Every business needs working capital in order to start-up, expand or maintain their company until it generates a positive cash flow. However, many small business owners have poor individual credit and cannot get approved for traditional business bank loan. There are small business loans for bad credit, but many of these loans will end up bankrupting the small business with exorbitant interest rates.
Both lenders and banks use credit scores and credit histories to determine the risk of a potential borrower. There are a few types of business loans or alternative financing available to obtain the business working capital needed for individuals who have bad credit.
Accounts receivable invoice factoring is one such option. Invoice factoring is a means in which a small business can convert their sales on credit terms into an immediate cash flow. A small business can sell their fresh invoices at a rate below their face value, usually between sixty and eighty percent of their worth, in order to obtain the capital they need. The potential line of credit is based on the strength of the invoices rather than on the strength or credit rating of the small business owner.
Business cash advance loans, also known as a merchant loan or merchant cash advance, is another popular option for small business loans for bad credit. A merchant cash advance loan is determined by credit or debit card transactions. Rather than paying the loan amount back in monthly payments, cash advance loans subtract a percentage of each credit card transaction. Business cash advance loans provide the business working capital without the stringent requirements of conventional business loans. Business cash loan amounts are determined by past transaction history rather than on the credit score of the business owner.
