    Question

    Fed Lifts Target Range to 3.75%-4.00% as 10-Year Yield Anchors at 5.3%

    Direct answer

    The Federal Reserve delivered a 25 basis point rate increase, establishing the federal funds target range at 3.75%-4.00%. Long-dated fixed income yields have adjusted to the higher-for-longer regime, with the benchmark 10-year Treasury note yielding 5.30%. The combination of tighter central bank policy and elevated benchmark yields increases debt service costs across corporate balance sheets while creating direct yield competition for equity income and high-multiple growth equities.
