Bond yields rose early Wednesday as investors awaited the Federal Reserve’s latest interest rate decision, CNBC reports. CNBC says the 10-year Treasury yield, a benchmark for mortgages and auto loans, was about 5.01%, and the 2-year yield, which tracks short-term Fed moves, was near 4.75%. Citing the CME FedWatch Tool, CNBC says traders priced a 90.6% chance that the Fed would keep its rate range at 375 to 400 basis points. Bloomberg and NBC News report that the Fed was expected to hold rates steady after September inflation data came in hotter than expected. The Epoch Times quotes a portfolio manager who expects a hawkish hold. Fed chairman Kevin Warsh’s statement after the decision is expected to signal future policy.
