Treasury yields have moved higher after Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh began his press conference. Warsh has repeatedly talked about inflation being too high-a message that could have even greater resonance to investors after he supported a rate increase for the first time as Fed leader.
Short-term yields, which are particularly sensitive to the near-term rate outlook, have led the move higher. The two-year yield was recently 4.712%, according to Tradeweb, up from 4.661% Tuesday and 4.602% just before the Fed's rate decision. The 10-year yield was still just below 5%.

On September 16, the Federal Reserve announced a 25 basis-point interest rate hike, raising the target range for the federal funds rate to 3.75%–4.00%, with unanimous approval from all 12 votes. Compared to the July statement, this statement removed the specific mention of the "Middle East conflict," replacing it with "developments in geopolitical situations." It also added the phrase "domestic spending remains resilient," and simplified the language regarding inflation to "remains elevated." Overall, the communication style continues the minimalist approach of the new Chairman Walsh.
