Treasury Yields Hit New 4-Week High After Fed

2026-04-29 18:20 By Joana Taborda 1 min. read

The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note rose about 7bps to 4.42% on Wednesday, a new high in roughly a month, as investors reacted to the latest FOMC decision.

The Fed left the federal funds rate unchanged, as expected, but the decision was not unanimous, with three members dissenting over language suggesting the central bank could eventually resume rate cuts.

This was seen as a more hawkish signal, with traders now pricing in roughly a one-in-three chance of a rate hike by April 2027.

Short-term Treasury yields, which are more sensitive to interest rate changes, rose more sharply, particularly the 2-year yield, which climbed above 3.95%.

Meanwhile, the Fed noted the war in Iran is weighing on the economic outlook and oil prices continued to rise, with President Trump saying the US would keep its naval blockade on Iran in place until it agrees to a nuclear deal.

US 10-Year Treasury Yield Continues to Rise, Fed Awaited
The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note rose for a third straight session to 4.39% on Wednesday, the highest level in over a month, as investors awaited the Fed’s monetary policy decision later in the day. Oil prices also continued to climb, with no signs of a near-term agreement between the US and Iran to end the conflict and reopen the Strait. While the Fed is widely expected to keep the federal funds rate unchanged, attention will focus on updated guidance, the economic outlook, and the impact of the conflict on policy prospects. Meanwhile, the Justice Department said it would halt its criminal investigation into Powell, removing a key hurdle to the Senate’s confirmation of his nominated successor, Kevin Warsh.
