August 2026
The July Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting delivered a hawkish hold, but markets treated the outcome as a potential credibility problem for Chairman Kevin Warsh as markets interpreted the press conference as more dovish than expected.
Short-term US Treasury bill yields were little changed in July. However, yields on longer-maturity US Treasury notes and bonds jumped, led by the 30-year US Treasury bond which moved convincingly above 5%.1
From a strategy perspective, the jump in yields, and our view that the Federal Reserve (Fed) is likely to stay in a holding pattern, provided the opportunity to extend weighted average maturities (WAM) in select money market strategies and ultrashort strategies.

An issuer may be unable to risk of the issuer and meet interest and/or principal payments, thereby causing its instruments to decrease in value and lowering the issuer’s credit rating.
