Why it matters
The market appears to be pricing in a full-blown hiking cycle from the Federal Reserve, rather than minor adjustments to monetary policy. FED Governor Michael Barr stated that further tightening of monetary policy is likely needed to bring inflation to the central bank’s two percent target. This rise in yields impacts consumer borrowing rates, particularly mortgages.
