Spike, as in to go up. I was mostly referring to the blip you see between 2006 and 2010 on the LFP rate graph, but you already know that. LFP follows trends spanning decades and are unaffected by any national policy or economic conditions except in the short term. The only way to artificially raise it is to sink the economy.
