what happened
Treasury yields moved higher as investors assessed the Fed's approach ahead of its policy meeting at the end of the month, according to Market Talk. The CME FedWatch tool currently puts the likelihood of a rate hike at 17%, in a week with few economic reports.
BMO rate strategists see a challenge for Chairman Warsh: delivering a pause that sets the tone while keeping a December hike fully priced in. They argue that a hike-pause-hike pattern implies another hawkish pause in January, leaving March 2027 as the first truly live meeting.
In trading, the 10-year Treasury yield rose to 5.127% from 5.097% on Friday, and the 2-year yield climbed to 4.757% from 4.734%. Brent fell 2% to $107.69 a barrel after President Trump waived new sanctions against Russia.
why it matters
Higher yields raise borrowing costs and add pressure on rate-sensitive stocks. The key question for markets is how the Fed handles its upcoming meeting and whether the December hike already priced in will hold.
