March 20 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury yields fell after the
Federal Reserve on Wednesday said they still anticipate cutting
interest rates three times this year, according to the median of
new economic projections.
Traders had speculated the Fed could reduce those
projections to two cuts this year, following stickier than
expected consumer and producer price inflation in January and
February.
Benchmark 10-year yields were last at 4.267%,
down around 3 basis points on the day. Two-year yields
dropped to 4.623%, down about 6 basis points.
The inversion in the yield curve between two-year and
10-year notes narrowed by three basis points on
the day to minus 37 basis points.
