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. Asked whether he thinks monetary policy is weighing on economic activity following the hike, Warsh said that he “found it difficult to describe financial conditions as restrictive” and that most of his colleagues at the Fed agree.

Markets had widely expected the Fed to raise interest rates on Wednesday, and investors seem to be happy that the central bank followed through on those expectations. 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. Officials moved up their forecast for economic growth and lowered their projections for unemployment rate.

The bond market's reaction to the Fed decision has so far been nothing to write home about. The Fed raised interest rates, a decision that was unanimous. Bond yields, both on the 2- and 10-year, were lower ahead of the decision.

The data-center buildout just got more expensive. The Fed’s quarter-point rate increase will likely add to the already substantial borrowing costs for the tech firms that are taking on massive amounts of debt to construct the infrastructure needed to power the artificial intelligence revolution. It’s no secret that building data centers is expensive.

The Federal Reserve’s expected rate hike is unlikely to hurt the stock market much—that is, if recent history is any guide. The Fed has launched rate-hike campaigns six times since the mid-1990s. In most cases, stocks took a hit in the first four months after the initial rate increase, but then quickly recovered, according to an analysis by LPL Financial.

For bond traders life is usually simple, steady and calm. This summer was anything but quiet–and Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh may be the key to fixing that. Over the past two months bond traders feeling unnerved by strong economic growth, inflation fears, and growing borrowing needs have moved fast to dump bonds.

Shares of Occidental Petroleum Corp (NYSE:OXY) are trading lower Wednesday as energy equities experience broad profit-taking alongside a pullback in crude oil prices. The weakness in benchmark energy commodities comes as fresh market data indicates a weekly drawdown in U.S. crude inventories, dampening immediate commodity momentum alongside sector-wide risk mitigation ahead of the Federal Reserve’s afternoon interest rate decision. Occidental Petroleum stock is taking a hit today. Why are OXY sh
