  • TREASURIES-Yields fall as Fed signals only one more hike

    U.S. central bankers see the policy rate, now in the 4.75%-5.00% range after Wednesday's increase, at 5.1% by year end, according to the median estimate in the Fed's latest quarterly summary of economic projections. “Despite the Fed pressing ahead with a 25bps rate hike today, we see considerable uncertainty in the path ahead and would downplay the significance of updated economic and dot plot projections in such a fast-moving environment,” Ashish Shah, chief investment officer of Goldman Sachs’ public investing business, said in a note. The inversion in the closely watched yield curve between two-year and 10-year notes narrowed as far as minus 48 basis points and was last at minus 52 basis points, compared to around minus 60 basis points before the Fed’s decision.

Klein, a veteran dealmaker, was merging his eponymous advisory boutique into Credit Suisse's investment banking operations to create CS First Boston as a standalone business which he would have led from New York.
