Interest rates on Treasury bonds are near their lowest in decades, 
meaning banks aren't getting a ton of return on their investment in 
government-related debt -- the benchmark 10-year Treasury note yielded 
2.03 percent Monday afternoon (03/12/20). But banks are also getting 
essentially zero-percent overnight loans from the Federal Reserve, so 
any interest above that is mostly profit.
