NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--The Treasurys market's skittish response to the latest Federal Reserve statement on interest rates is just another warning of how severely policy makers' tact is going to be tested in preparing markets for the dreaded rate increases.
A wave of selling hit long-dated maturities in the hour following the statement's release around 2:15 p.m. EST, with a ferocity that surprised many market watchers. The drop in price of the 10-year note pushed this benchmark yield up almost 10 basis points on the day, to highs last seen mid-August, around 3.56%. Yields move inversely to prices.
