    Fed lifts 25 bps to 3.75%-4.00% with 10-year at 5.30% — TLT duration reprices on tighter policy

    Question

    Fed lifts 25 bps to 3.75%-4.00% with 10-year at 5.30% — TLT duration reprices on tighter policy

    Direct answer

    The 25 bps hike to a 3.75%-4.00% target range with the 10-year Treasury yield at 5.30% raises discount rates and pressures long-duration Treasuries. Invalidate on a dovish Fed reversal or a sustained 10-year yield break below 5.00%. — bearish pressure on TLT.
