After the Fed’s first rate cut last year, long-term rates only stopped rising when the Fed stopped cutting the fed funds rate. If the Fed stands pat on rates with one or two dissents, the uncertainty stemming from such a scenario could add to the term premium and raise long-term rates anyway. Ironically, those outcomes would put the Fed under even more pressure from Trump to cut borrowing costs.” -Edward Harrison, BBG macro strategist.
