    This document shows two graphs comparing long-term and short-term U.S. Treasury bond interest rates to the Consumer Price Index from 1900 to 2012. The relationship between interest rates and inflation was inconsistent before the 1960s, but has been more closely aligned since, with interest rates generally rising as inflation increases. The graphs illustrate how interest rates and inflation have tracked together over the past century.
