Fed Hikes Rates for the First Time Since 2023 and the 10-Year Treasury Yield Falls Back Below 5%
The Federal Reserve raised the federal funds target range by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00% on Wednesday, its first increase since July 2023, and the bond market answered by buying duration. The 10-year Treasury yield fell about 5 basis points to roughly 4.95%, one session after touching 5.04%, its highest level since 2007. In the first stretch after the statement the Nasdaq Composite traded up about 0.8%, the S&P 500 about 0.3%, and the Dow sat just under flat. A rate hike pulled the long end lower. That reaction is the story.
