In that case, short-term rates will stay where they are, but the yield curve could flatten, with intermediate and long-term rates coming down modestly.

Conversely, longer-term indexes will lock in rates - high, low or intermediate - for longer times.

The selloff also sent short-term and intermediate rates higher.

North America and Europe have intermediate rates of 9-16 twin sets per 1,000 live births.

The intermediate rate is set halfway between the market and the poverty rates.

"To me, getting those rates down is the key to seeing intermediate and long-term rates fall in this country."

The parents are found to reject parasitic eggs at an intermediate rate.

The intermediate marginal rates would also be cut year by year over five years.

Those that were transferred globally might not be so finely attuned to their fellow players, and so grew at an intermediate rate.

"When intermediate rates are present, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics cannot be applied."
