Bond Market Defies Fed, Raising Yields

Unusual Bond Market Behavior: Feds Rate Cuts Not Lowering YieldsThe Federal Reserves recent interest rate cuts have not led to a decrease in long-term bond yields, a situation not seen since the nineties. This unexpected trend has sparked various explanations, including confidence in avoiding a recession, a return to pre-2008 market norms, and concerns about the U.S.s ability to manage its debt. The Feds independence and the potential for political pressure on future rate decisions are also under scrutiny. This complex situation suggests a shift in how the bond market reacts to monetary policy, with long-term yields potentially less influenced by short-term Fed actions and more by broader economic factors.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
