I think the 25bp hike is no longer the real story—the bond market is.

With the 10-year Treasury yield already above 5%, oil above $100 and inflation still running above the Fed’s 2% target, financial conditions have tightened even before the decision. The key question is whether Warsh signals that this is the beginning of further tightening or simply a one-off adjustment.

A hawkish message could push yields and the dollar higher, putting renewed pressure on long-duration growth stocks, gold and Bitcoin. A cautious message could trigger relief across risk assets.

For me, the most important number after the meeting is not the Fed Funds rate—it’s the 10-year yield.

If yields stay above 5%, the bond market may be doing more tightening than the Fed itself.
