Interest rates on long$-$term bonds are more volatile than rates on short$-$term debt securities like T$-$bills.

Suppose the federal deficit increased sharply from one year to the next, and the Federal Reserve kept the money supply constant. Other things held constant, we would expect to see interest rates decline.
