    Question

    FOMC Raises Rates 25bp to 3.75%-4.00% as 10-Year Yield Approaches 5.0%

    Direct answer

    Fed Chair Kevin Warsh oversaw a unanimous FOMC decision to lift benchmark rates by 25 basis points to 3.75%-4.00%. Post-meeting communications emphasized that returning inflation to 2% requires decisive action. The move pushes 10-year Treasury yields near the 5.0% threshold. With the S&P 500 dividend yield at 1.1%, the equity risk premium faces renewed pressure across interest-rate sensitive growth assets.
