US Treasuries rally after FOMC as Italy preps dollar return

The US Federal Reserve raised its target rate to 125bp-150bp this week in a move investors and analysts widely expected, but there was still a small rally in US Treasury yields as some of the central bank’s projections hinted at what analysts called a “Goldilocks scenario for bonds”. That is likely to be welcomed in the offices of one sovereign issuer, which is planning a return to the dollar market after a long absence.
