Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh did nothing to quell the bond market angst. Bond traders expected the Fed to raise interest rates. That should have quelled some angst and raised bond prices. Instead, the 10-year yield is elevated and above 5% mark.

Fed Chairman Kevin Warsh didn’t give market participants much hope that Wednesday’s rate increase would be a one-and-done event.

Looking at the so-called "dot plot," it looks like the Fed is embarking on short adjustment cycle, with the majority of officials only penciling in one interest rate hike later this year and no movement in 2027.
