The Federal Reserve cut rates in September – Fed Chairman Powell announced that the Fed had reduced its key interest rate by 0.25%, the first rate cut of the year. The Fed rate is the overnight rate that banks pay to borrow from the Fed, the shortest of short-term rates. When the Fed lowers its rate, banks typically follow with an equal reduction in their prime rate. That affects business lines of credit, home equity lines of credit, and other short-term loans. However, it does not necessarily bring down mortgage rates or long-term bond yields. In fact, both rose slightly after the rate cut, though they remain near their lowest levels of 2025.

The Federal Reserve lowered rates for the first time this year – so why did long-term bond yields and mortgage rates increase slightly instead of dropping after the rate cut? On Wednesday, Fed Chairman Powell announced that the Fed had reduced its key interest rate by 0.25%.

When the Fed lowers its rate, banks typically follow with an equal reduction in their prime rate. That affects business lines of credit, home equity lines of credit, and other short-term loans. However, it does not necessarily bring down mortgage rates or long-term bond yields. In fact, both rose slightly after the rate cut, though they remain near their lowest levels of 2025. The best explanation is that long-term rates are tied to investors’ expectations of future inflation. Investors require a spread above projected long-term inflation to justify holding long bonds. Cutting rates can fuel inflation, so yields moved up.
