Treasury Yields Rise on Fed Day as U.S. Prices Remain Hot -- Market Talk
Dow Jones
Mar 18
1034 ET - Treasury yields rise following three consecutive daily declines as hostilities in the Mideast continue, oil rises and U.S. wholesale inflation surprises to the upside. Hotter-than-expected February PPI bolsters the case for the Fed to remain on pause beyond today's expected hold. January factory orders rise less than forecast. Markets mostly price one or no cuts this year, with tiny odds of a hike appearing on CME's FedWatch. Investors will focus on the level of dissent in today's Fed decision, as well as Powell's Q&A as his term nears a politically-charged end. The 10-year yield is at 4.228% and the two-year at 3.714%.
