What happened
The Federal Reserve kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at the June FOMC meeting. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh signaled a more hawkish direction than anticipated, creating uncertainty about the future path of interest rates. Following the announcement, major U.S. stock indexes fell, and the yield on the two-year Treasury spiked more than 16 basis points.
Why it matters
The hawkish tone and lack of forward guidance increased expectations that the central bank could begin hiking rates. This shift put pressure on the bond market and risk assets, while rising yields increase the importance of upcoming inflation reports.
