    10-year Treasury yield trades near 5% following Fed rate hike to 3.75%-4.00%

    Question

    10-year Treasury yield trades near 5% following Fed rate hike to 3.75%-4.00%

    Direct answer

    The FOMC rate increase to 3.75%-4.00% marks a policy tightening move under Chair Kevin Warsh. Treasury markets responded by driving 10-year benchmark yields toward 5.00%, repricing the risk-free rate across asset classes. With futures markets discounting an 87% likelihood of further rate hikes in 2026-2027, cross-asset capital allocators face an elevated fixed income hurdle rate that challenges equity risk premia. — bullish pressure on SHY.
