What it means
The Fed's fifth consecutive hold has triggered a bond rout, with 30-year Treasury yields hitting their highest since 2007 — a dynamic historically associated with falling long-duration bond prices and pressure on equities via higher discount rates. This is the new element here: the market's explicit loss of confidence in the Fed's inflation-fighting resolve under Warsh, which adds a credibility premium to long-end yields beyond prior signals. The dollar may see short-term support as investors reassess the macro outlook. (Lower-conviction channels were filtered out by our selectivity bar.)
