- Treasury yields moved lower after the Federal Reserve kicked off its rate-hiking cycle, a counterintuitive move the coverage links to bond investors accepting rather than resisting the Fed's new policy stance.
- Global bonds recovered and U.S. Treasury yields fell as the market regained trust in the Fed's inflation resolve, with Warsh cited as a voice shaping that credibility narrative.
Why it matters: Bond yields falling while the Fed raises rates is the clearest market signal that investors believe the central bank will follow through on inflation — the WSJ, Bloomberg, and CNBC headlines all converge on that trust-restored framing. When long-end yields drop during a hiking cycle, it typically compresses borrowing costs and signals the market isn't pricing in a policy mistake.
