The market is pricing in the anticipation that rates may increase a quarter point in 2013 but nothing yet substantive. In particular, the September 2015 projection of a 1.5% target rate is an interesting bet from a risk/reward perspective. Three-month corporate paper is at 1.16% and has been this for quite some time.
