By the end of that year, the Federal Reserve slashed its key federal-funds target interest rate to virtually zero, where it stood until late December. Since then, the Fed has gradually lifted its fed-funds target range, to 1.75%-2% currently.

Bond Traders Are Way Ahead of the Fed’s Powell
The bond market these days is about as fun as watching paint dry. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note yield has moved less than 7.7 basis points in July, putting it on course for its smallest monthly range since 1973, according to Bloomberg News. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell raised a few eyebrows on Wednesday when he told the House Financial Services Committee on his second day of semiannual testimony before Congress that policy makers are “slightly more worried about lower inflation.” That was a bit of a shocker given the Fed has already raised interest rates twice this year and has flagged at least one more before January.
