Story

On Tuesday, May 6, 2025, U.S. Treasury yields were largely unchanged as the market anticipated the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision scheduled for Wednesday. Investors faced uncertainty due to economic pressures from President Donald Trump's tariff policies, which have complicated the Fed's decision-making process. Analysts suggested there’s a high probability the Fed will maintain the current rates without any explicit guidance on future policy adjustments. By this time, traders indicated only a minimal chance of any rate cuts.
