what happened

Dow Jones Newswires published its daily summary of key short-term rates for Friday, October 23, 2026. The federal funds target range stayed at 3.75-4.00%, while the Secured Overnight Financing Rate came in at 3.90%, slightly above its week-ago level.

At the Treasury bill auctions, the 13-week yield rose to 4.095% and the 26-week yield to 4.220%. The Freddie Mac 30-year fixed mortgage rate eased to 7.32% from 7.40% a week earlier. Consumer prices rose 3.7% year on year in September, and core prices rose 2.6%.

why it matters

Stable short-term rates and elevated bill yields suggest the market is not pricing in quick monetary easing. Bond and mortgage markets will also watch the Freddie Mac rate, which moves with long-term yields.
